From 1987 to 2002, she was Head of the Lymphocyte Activation Laboratory at the Cancer Research UK London Research Institute. In 2002, she was awarded a Wellcome Trust Principal Research Fellowship at the School of Life Sciences at the University of Dundee. She has served as Chair of the UK Medical Research Council's Immunology and Infections panel (2010–14) and was a member of MRC council (2014–18). She is a member of the editorial board for Immunity.

She is a world expert on the function of T lymphocytes: the white blood cells which control the immune system and are consequently very important in understanding the progress of diseases and disease resistance.
