After completing my PhD at Eotvos University Budapest in 1997, looking at functional T cell epitopes from Mycobacterium tuberculosis proteins, using synthetic peptides in collaboration with the Royal Postgraduate Medical School, Hammersmith Hospital London, I did postdoctoral work at Case Western Reserve University (Cleveland, Ohio), Oxford University, Imperial College London, and worked in Cape Town between 2004-2017 on HIV-associated tuberculosis. I was appointed a tenured Senior Investigator Scientist at the National Institute for Medical Research (NIMR, London) in 2007, that became part of the Francis Crick Institute in 2015. Now based at the Francis Crick Institute,  I am an Honorary Associate Professor at University College London and maintain strong collaborations with the Institute of Infectious Disease and Molecular Medicine (IDM) at the University of Cape Town, where I am also Honorary Associate Professor.
