I have previously worked as a laboratory technician in Biochemistry and Haematology specimen receptions. I first joined QMUL in 2020 as a laboratory technician in COVID-19 testing and then as an RA in 2021. I have assisted on the COVID-19 Antibody study in people with Multiple Sclerosis within the Centre for Preventive Neurology.
