Alexander D.
Private tutor in Melbourne, Australia
Education
I earned a Ph.D. in cancer immunology from the University of Melbourne. I also have a Master of Science in Immunology from Imperial College in London and a Bachelor of Science in Immunology from the University of Leicester.
Experience
I have a strong background in immunology with experience in microbiology and virology. I have a strong background in basic biology and science. I am currently researching the use of immunotherapy to enhance the immune system to detect and combat cancer. I previously studied immunology at the undergraduate level. I have also been a researcher assistant in Australia and the Ku before starting my Ph.D. Last year I won the best student poster prize for the royal Melbourne Health week, and this year I won the best student oral presentation at the Peter MacCallum Student Symposium. I also won a poster prize at the 2015 1st Japanese-Australian meeting on cell death and was a finalist for the Science in Public award. I am passionate about communicating and teaching not just my science knowledge but all science to a wider audience. I believe that scientists need to continually engage with the wider community to raise the level of science education.

Hobbies
I'm an avid skier and spent years ski racing as a child and teenager. I have a strong interest in the outdoors and regularly enjoy camping and hiking which allows me to engage in my keen interest in photography. Most of my time is taken up by my PhD but I also enjoy talking about science to the public in general.
