DPhil student reading cardiovascular medicine. DPhil research focuses on a unique population of endothelial progenitor cells - endothelial colony-forming cells, to investigate underlying mechanisms for cardiovascular disease development in children and young adults of different birth histories and varying blood pressure profiles.
