Srija Moulik

In my role on the UKRI-funded PITCH Study (Protective Immunity for T cells in Healthcare Workers in Oxford), I focus on investigating T cell immunity in COVID-19. My core responsibilities include isolating and cryopreserving peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), plasma, and serum from fresh blood samples provided by study volunteers. Additionally, I am involved in pooling and properly storing peptides for use in T cell assays and assessing T-cell responses through ELISpot assays using frozen PBMCs from human blood samples, specifically from patients with SARS-CoV-2 and RSV.
Beyond these tasks, I systematically organize samples, maintain detailed sample inventories, and coordinate the shipment of samples to academic collaborators. I ensure that research findings are clearly documented and kept up to date, and I stay informed about recent research articles relevant to my work to deepen my understanding. I also regularly communicate updates and results to my line manager and engage in discussions on experimental outcomes with colleagues at the Institute. Moreover, I participate in various seminars, workshops, and courses hosted by the department and University to support my professional development.
