Biography:

I received my PhD in Immunology in 2024. I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at the BC Cancer Research Centre in the lab of Dr. Takei. My research focuses on the cytotoxic function of group 1 innate lymphoid cells (ILC1s), as well as the roles of ILC1s and ILC2s. Specifically, I investigate how these cells respond to high-fat diet and alcohol exposure in male and female mouse models, with the goal of better understanding sex-based differences in immune responses.

The Women’s Health Research Institute would like to acknowledge that we are uninvited guests on the unceded ancestral territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), Stó:lo, and sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-waututh) Nations.

As a provincial research institute committed to improving the health outcomes of women, including those across the 2SLGBTQIA+ spectrum, we recognize our responsibility in the collective effort towards establishing culturally safe health care systems and services that address health inequities among Indigenous peoples, especially Indigenous women, girls, and Two-spirit peoples.

We encourage all people involved in research to read both the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada: Calls to Action and the In Plain Sight Report, and reflect on ways we can incorporate the recommendations into our work. As we gather in spaces together, we encourage you to reflect on your positionality on these lands and your personal commitments to reconciliation.
