Dr. Audrey Teh is a Lecturer in Molecular Immunology within the Institute for Infection and Immunity at St. George's, University of London. She obtained her PhD from Trinity College Dublin, Ireland and worked as a post-doctoral researcher for Professor Julian Ma, whose group was among the first to investigate the production of monoclonal antibodies in plants.

Audrey is passionate about making medicines affordable and accessible to everyone. Her current research focuses on using plants as a cheaper, more rapid and highly scalable manufacturing platform to produce therapeutics against cancer and HIV/AIDS. She recently won the 2019 CRUK Innovation Prize to investigate the potential of using tobacco to make antibodies for cancer immunotherapy. Audrey is also interested in designing and engineering more effective novel therapeutics to combat global infectious diseases and cancer.

A ‘pharmer’ at heart, Audrey’s favourite place to do research is the ‘Skylab’, a greenhouse facility located on the top floor of SGUL.
