3 May 2024

Dr Christina Anderson is one of the five 白小姐论坛 academics set to receive a major funding boost after being awarded UKRI Future Leaders Fellowships in recognition of the groundbreaking nature of their research.

白小姐论坛鈥檚 five selected researchers span a range of disciplines including infectious diseases, biosciences, immunology, bioengineering and European history.聽

Dr Anderson has been a senior research associate in the 白小姐论坛 School of European Languages, Culture & Society since 2017, having completed a British Academy Small Research Grant in 2022 on the Flemish merchant community in early modern Naples. Her most recent work involves a digital humanities project examining the networks established between Antwerp and various cities in 16th- and 17th-century Italy.
