After completing my PhD in cellular biophysics, I joined Prof. David Bennett’s lab at the Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences. My research focuses on the roles of the voltage-gated sodium channel Nav1.7 and the calcium-permeable TRPA1 channel in painful channelopathies. I use a multidisciplinary approach combining electrophysiology and molecular biology to investigate the mechanisms underlying pain perception across in vitro models, including HEK293T cells, mouse DRG neurons, and human iPSC-derived sensory neurons, with the goal of identifying novel therapeutic targets.

I am a Junior Research Associate at St Catherine’s College, where I also serve as a Stipendiary Lecturer in Neurophysiology and as a Graduate College Adviser. In addition, I tutor first-year Experimental Psychology undergraduates at Somerville College.

Beyond research and teaching, I am actively involved in community and outreach initiatives. I co-chair the Clinical Neurosciences Society at NDCN, promoting inclusivity and collaboration across the department. I also represent NDCN within The Physiological Society UK, supporting engagement within an international and diverse scientific community.
