Background
PhD student within the Human Genetics group of KRISP. I have experience in HIV immunology and PrEP as well as skills in novel non-neutralizing antibody functional assays and multi-colour flow cytometry. My current research interest focusses on understanding the role human genes (specifically HLA class I genes) have on HIV and TB disease. In addition, I am interested in investigating the effect of novel potential therapeutic agents against HIV and TB.
