I am currently pursuing a Honours Bachelor of Science degree at the University of Toronto with a double major in Physiology and Immunology. After being awarded the Queen Elizabeth Diamond Jubilee Scholarship, I interned at the University of Cape Town to conduct research on HIV. My research focused on T cells extracted from epidermal foreskin tissue. Using flow cytometry, I investigated the difference in immunophenotypes between T cells extracted with different protocols: spontaneous migration and enzyme digestion. As the main target of HIV, CD4+ T cells remain an important field of study in HIV treatment and prevention.
