Jessica Valli completed her PhD at the Sir William Dunn School of Pathology at the University of Oxford in 2018. For her PhD Jessica used 3-dimensional light and electron microscopy techniques to investigate parasite-host communication, focusing on the role of the flagellum in the protozoan parasite Leishmania mexicana in interactions with host macrophages. As well as managing the facility, providing training and assisting in research projects Jessica organises the ESRIC Super-Resolution Summer School every year alongside other events and training.
