Dr Natacha Veerapen

I graduated with a BSc from the University of Mauritius in 2000. I obtained my PhD in synthetic organic chemistry, specialising in Carbohydrate Chemistry, in Professor Pinto’s group at Simon Fraser University, British Columbia, Canada, in 2005. In 2006, I joined Professor Besra’s group at the University of Birmingham as a Research Fellow to carry on working on the synthesis and exploring the role of glycolipids as vaccine adjuvants. In 2023, I was appointed as University Teacher at the University of Sheffield.
