Short Bio:
Suchita obtained her BSc in Biomedical Science at King’s College London. She then went on to obtain her PhD at University College London, under the supervision of Profs Michael Ehrenstein and Claudia Mauri, where she investigated the role of regulatory T-cells in anti-TNF-treated rheumatoid arthritis patients. Following a brief post-doc in New York, Suchita left lab-based research for a year to work as a Senior Science Adviser to the Government. In 2009, she then returned to lab research, undertaking a post-doc project with Prof Mauro Perretti at the WHRI, looking into the role of neutrophils in patients with Giant Cell Arteritis. It was during this time that Suchita developed her interests in neutrophils, combining it with her background in T-cell immunology. In 2013, Suchita joined Prof Federica Marelli-Berg’s group, where she developed her niche investigating the importance of neutrophil-T cell interactions during pregnancy. In 2017, Suchita was awarded a 5-year intermediate research fellowship from the British Heart Foundation. She is currently a Reader (Associate Prof) and Principal Investigator in Cardiovascular Immunology at the William Harvey Research Institute.
