About me

  • I am a postdoctoral researcher with John Andersson and Fang Fang in the
    Institute of Environmental Medicine.
    My work focuses on the role/specificity of CD4 CTLs in ALS
    A highly-motivated and curious researcher who is fascinated by the workings
    of the immune system. Hoping to work on the interaction between the
    psychology/mental health and immunity.
    Awarded fellwoship through the 2022 ECTRIMS postdoctoral fellowship program

Research

  • My current pursuit is to identify possible autoantigens that may induce
    clonally expanded CD4+ cytotoxic T cells in established patients of
    amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. I will also work on uncovering the change in
    CD4 CTL activity across time in human ALS patients.
