Francisco Daniel Orliacq

MSc Integrated Immunology, 2022

My name is Francisco Orliacq, I am from Buenos Aires, Argentina and I came to Oxford to purse a MSc in Integrated Immunology.

As part of my background, I finished the Medical Doctor Program at the School of Medicine at the Argentinian Catholic University (UCA) and at the British Hospital of BsAs in 2021.

I decided to study medicine because I want to help people and I am passionate about how the human body works, especially molecular mechanisms involving cell functions. I am fascinated by medical sciences, research, and teaching, three things I have been committed to during my studies.

My interest in immunology began during my medical training. Apart from vaccine development, which meant a great revolution in world health, as a student and physician I notice that immunology is even more present in medical practice: novel treatments for autoimmune disorders, cancer immunotherapy, infectious diseases and transplantation. I believe that having the opportunity to do this MSc will combine my two true passions: helping others & science.

I am also an amateur swimmer, I like cycling and I am enjoying a lot rowing.
