I am a junior doctor working at Austin Health, with a keen interest in pre-clinical research. Last year, I completed a Masters degree through The Walter and Eliza Hall Institute and The University of Melbourne, in an inflammatory cell death pathway called necroptosis. I am currently investigating whether we can expect side effects from long term therapeutic inhibition of necroptosis, to treat a myriad of human conditions such as auto-inflammatory disease, cancer and ischaemia-reperfusion injury injury.
