Xiaowen Sun achieved a Distinction grade in her Masters degree in Immunology at KCL, graduating in 2025. As part of this course, she did a research project in the Spencer lab where she learned computational methods for analysis of electronic image data.
She is now a Research Assistant funded by the Lupus Trust, studying cells in the human gut and liver tissues that we propose are responsible for identifying and breaking down DNA from gut microbes, to prevent microbial DNA from stimulating an anti-DNA response systemically.
Xiaowen is currently looking for a PhD studentship starting 2026 to support her ambition to become an independent scientist.
