Madison Niamh Cooper, United Kingdom

Madi began their scientific career with a BSc in Biomedical Science from Newcastle University, where a strong interest in immunology and translational medicine developed. This foundation led to a PhD in Transplant Science, focusing on the investigation of cellular therapy fate through advanced tracking in novel clinical models. Their doctoral work explored how cellular therapies behave and persist in vivo, contributing to a better understanding of therapeutic mechanisms and outcomes in transplantation.

Recently, Madi accepted a postdoctoral position in complement research, where they are involved in the evaluation of novel complement-targeted therapies. Their current work aims to bridge fundamental complement biology with translational applications in immune-mediated and inflammatory diseases.
