Ina Schim van der Loeff
Academic Clinical Lectureship in Paediatrics
After completing medical and foundation training in London, including a PhD in T cell biology I moved to the Northeast as an Academic Clinical Fellow to complete paediatric training. I joined the Hambleton group as a post-doc using my skills as a basic immunologist to investigate the molecular and cellular mechanisms of inborn errors of immunity (IEIs).
The Great North Children’s Hospital (GNCH) is an international referral centre for paediatric immunodeficiency and the Hambleton group is respected and recognised for its work in characterising novel IEIs.
The University has great facilities and clinical academics are well supported. I have enjoyed incredible academic and clinical training opportunities in the Northeast and am about to start subspecialty training at GNCH while continuing to investigate novel causes of IEIs as an Academic Clinical Lecturer at Newcastle University’s Translational and Clinical Research Institute.
