Biography
Tony trained in medicine at the University of Cambridge, qualifying in June 2014. During this time he undertook an intercalated BA in Natural Sciences (Pathology), specialising dually in immunology and cellular genetics in disease. Tony’s undergraduate research investigated noroviral persistence in common variable immunodeficiency with Dr Philip Stevenson, competitive ligand binding of receptors from the Leukocyte Immunoglobulin-like Receptor family with Dr Des Jones and dendritic cell production of Thymic Stromal Lymphopoietin with Professor JS Hill Gaston & Dr Jane Goodall). Following completion of medical training, Tony held an Academic Foundation post in oncology, where he focused on 3D modelling of tumour-stromal interactions with the Miller Group at the CRUK Cambridge Institute. He is currently an Academic Clinical Fellow in respiratory medicine, and joined the Critical Care Group in November 2016.
