Dr. Treefa received a master’s degree in Medical Microbiology and an M.Phil./Ph.D. in Immuno-oncology at Exeter University Medical School. She conducted Learning and Teaching in Higher Education at Exeter University (LTHE 1 and LTHE2). During this period, she assisted with the training of undergraduate and postgraduate students within the research group and gained further experience in teaching. At Exeter University, she coordinated undergraduate and postgraduate lab projects and lab demonstrations. Her doctoral studies focused on immunogenic cell death.
