TLR4 & Treg cells in early pregnancy
Honours project: This reproductive immunology project explores the role of the toll like receptor 4 (TLR4) in maternal immune adaptation for pregnancy.
Immune regulation of preterm birth
Honours project: This honours project in molecular and biomedical science will investigate immune regulation of preterm birth.

Efficacy of a combination of TKI and a novel allosteric inhibitor asciminib in chronic myeloid leukaemia
Honours project: Investigate the synergistic effect of the combination of TKI and asciminib.
Monitoring of minimal residual disease on chronic myeloid leukaemia patients in a setting of treatment free remission
Honours project: Characterise the residual leukaemia population in TFR patients, and understand why some patients relapse and others don’t.
Metabolic dependencies for improved therapeutic outcomes in chronic myeloid leukaemia
Honours project: Participate in a novel and innovative approach will likely provide a combinational treatment strategy with greater efficacy than current approaches.
