Princess Kisi

PhD Student

University of Exeter

Having experienced childhood asthma in Zimbabwe that resolved after moving to the UK, Princess developed an early interest in respiratory health and environmental exposures. She holds a BSc in Biological Sciences from the University of East Anglia and an MSc in Toxicology from the University of Birmingham. Prior to starting her PhD she spent three years in regulatory toxicology across the pesticide and medical device sectors before joining UKHSA as an Environmental Public Health Scientist. Princess’s GW4 MRC DTP – funded PhD is based at the ECEHH, supervised by Professor Ben Wheeler. This project focuses on strengthening our understanding of the current and likely future epidemiology of thunderstorm asthma under UKCP18 climate change scenarios to inform risk reduction.
