Since then, he has continued to work as a postdoctoral research fellow in the Filer lab whilst developing his own research interests.
Research interests
- Stratification of immune disorders using process modules common/private to disorders
- Stromal immunology, in particular the role of stromal subsets in the healthy immune response and disease and how stromal responses and subsets vary across tissues
- Transcriptomics data analysis, particularly single-cell RNA sequencing and leading-edge developments, and working in the R programming language
- Platforms and methods for easing access and interpretation of big data by colleagues without computational ability
- Merging transcriptomic data with wet-lab validation and spatial assignment of transcriptomic data
