My PhD on viral ecology and an interest in shifting towards zoonotic diseases led to a postdoc on SARS-CoV-2 in the environment with the Fletcher group. I've since started working on Hepatitis E and various other pathogens - enhancing my understanding of 'One Health' science and the need for interdisciplinary research. This has encouraged a personal drive to expand my existing skill set to focus on novel molecular/sequencing techniques, infection models and pathogen surveillance approaches.
