Brief biography

Andrew studied Biomedical Sciences at Warwick University, U.K. After a short period in the pharmaceutical industry Andrew went on to complete a PhD in lipid antigen presentation by CD1 molecules and currently holds the position of Postdoctoral research fellow in the lab of Prof. Gennaro De Libero investigating small molecule presentation by MHC Class I-related protein (MR1).

Research interests

Antigen presentation, Unconventional T-cells, Cancer immunology, Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Current projects
