معرفی
Ashley Priddey is a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Bannard Group (B Cell Immunology) at the MRC Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine (WIMM), part of the Nuffield Department of Medicine within the University of Oxford's Medical Sciences Division. Her work focuses on deciphering the germinal centre reaction mechanisms that generate high-affinity antibody responses critical for infection defense and disease prevention.
She earned her PhD and completed her initial postdoctoral training at the University of Cambridge under Dr. Vasilis Kosmoliaptsis, where she developed innovative antibody characterization methodologies to enhance immunological risk assessment in solid organ transplantation.
Her research centers on B cell dynamics within germinal centres, specifically investigating somatic hypermutation, clonal expansion, selection processes, and inter-zonal B cell cycling that produce affinity-matured plasma cells and memory B cells. This work bridges fundamental immunology with translational applications in vaccine design and disease progression understanding, emphasizing humoral immunity mechanisms.
