Pal Parikh

After graduating from University of Bristol Vet School, Pal gravitated towards a career in academia and began an internship at the University of Bristol Veterinary Infectious Diseases Laboratories, Professor Mick Baileys Lab. Pal joined a study exploring the immunology behind swine influenza. Her component of this study was to design and optimise complex immunofluorescence protocols to stain swine nasal mucosa tissues that have been infected with swine influenza. The internship solidified Pal’s desire to join the research world and consequently led her to apply for an MPhil in Veterinary Medicine at this institution. As her research background focussed on swine influenza, she has joined Dr Laurence Tiley’s team to carry out the swine component of the sialidase-induced endogenous neo-antigen (SIENA) vaccine for universal protection against influenza virus project.
