Dr Mahima Swamy is a Sir Henry Dale Fellow and group leader in the MRC Protein Phosphorylation and Ubiquitylation Unit (MRC PPU) at the University of Dundee. Mahima’s lab works broadly in the areas of intestinal immunology, diet, intestinal infection and inflammatory bowel diseases, with a focus on intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes, a class of poorly characterised T cells that reside in the intestinal epithelium. She did her PhD at the Max-Planck Institute of Immunobiology in Freiburg, Germany, and after two postdoc stints, one in CRUK’s London Research Institute with Prof. Adrian Hayday, and another at the University of Dundee with Prof. Doreen Cantrell, she started her lab in the MRC PPU in Dundee in 2017. She was selected to join the EMBO Young Investigator network in 2022.
