I am a Consultant in Paediatric Infectious Disease in Children's Health Ireland, Dublin. I was awarded my PhD this year which examined immunometabolic responses of neonatal and adult macrophages to Mycobacterium tuberculosis. I completed Clinical Fellowships in Paediatric Infectious Disease in the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland and in Hassenfled Chdilren's Hospital, New York University and was fortunate to be in the 2013 graduating class for the Oxford ESPID Diploma.
