Matt graduated from the University of Oxford with a Masters degree in Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry. During his PhD in immunology at University College, London, he investigated intracellular signalling pathways regulating the morphology and survival of dendritic cells, and developed a novel assay for the quantification of endocytosis. Matt subsequently worked as a postdoctoral scientist at the MRC's National Institute for Medical Research, investigating the Nf-kappaB signalling pathway in macrophages using cellular, molecular biological, and transgenic technologies.
