Dr Matthew Blunt is a Research Fellow and a Postdoctoral Career Track Award Fellow within the Faculty of Medicine.
I completed a PhD in immunology and pharmacology at the University of Bath in 2013, funded by the BBSRC and Novartis. I subsequently joined the Cancer Sciences Unit at the University of Southampton to study novel treatment strategies for hematological malignancies with Dr Andrew Steele. For this work I was awarded the Catovsky prize (2014) by the UK CLL forum and the John Marsden Prize (2015 and 2016) by the University of Southampton.
I subsequently moved to the laboratory of Professor Salim Khakoo in 2017 to study natural killer cells and cancer immunotherapies. In 2018 I was awarded the Postdoctoral Career Track Award by the University of Southampton.
