Princess Kisi

Princess Kisi is a PhD researcher funded by the GW4 Medical Research Council (MRC) Doctoral Training Partnership. Her research at the European Centre for Environment and Human Health (ECEHH), part of the University of Exeter Medical School, investigates the epidemiology of thunderstorm asthma in the UK under climate change scenarios. She is also affiliated with the Net+ Centre for Climate and Health Solutions.

Princess holds an MSc in Toxicology from the University of Birmingham, with training spanning mechanistic toxicology, regulatory science, toxicological risk assessment, and environmental health. Her research project investigated the association between PM₂.₅ exposure and increased ACE2 receptor expression, with implications for COVID-19 morbidity.

Prior to commencing her PhD, Princess worked in regulatory toxicology across the pesticide and medical device sectors, where she prepared toxicological safety assessment reports to support regulatory submissions to European notified bodies and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). She subsequently joined the UK Health Security Agency as an Environmental Public Health Scientist, specialising in air pollution toxicology.

Her research integrates epidemiology, statistical modelling, meteorological science, and environmental health to understand the impacts of climate change on respiratory disease. She has expertise in evidence synthesis, including systematic and rapid evidence reviews, regulatory toxicology, and translating scientific evidence to inform regulatory and public health decision-making.
