My PhD was on the immunogenetics of Trichuris infection and I haven't looked back since! Over the last decade, I have been developing model systems that embrace the environmental variation to study immune responses to infection.

Men die more often from infections, while women are more prone to autoimmune diseases, partly due to sex hormones' effects on the immune system.

"Yet preclinical testing still relies heavily on single-sex inbred mice, collapsing human diversity into a single genetic line."
