Jennifer Canizales has been with the department since January 2015 as a research assistant on the SPIRAL Study, and in December 2015 was one of only two candidates to be awarded funding for a PhD Fellowship from the Colt Foundation. Her PhD project aims to gain a greater understanding of the immunological mechanisms of occupational allergic disease. The project will also involve the creation of a novel point-of-care test designed to detect allergic sensitisation to occupational allergens.

She is looking forward to beginning her research, and is extremely grateful to The Colt Foundation for their help and support.
