Personal profile

Academic Background

I am the scientific group leader for RNA research at Norwich Medical School. I first trained as a biomedical scientist at Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge before completing my PhD at the University of East Anglia with a focus on microRNA and bone cancer. I undertook postdoctoral training at UEA expanding on this work, developing single-cell RNA sequencing in circulating tumour cells, before setting up my own group in 2018.  

 

Key Research Interests

Our lab is based at the BCRE on the Norwich Research Park, which is one of five BBSRC funded research and innovation campuses in the UK and one of the largest concentrations of life sciences researchers in Europe. On the park, there are four other research institutes, the 6th largest acute teaching hospital in the UK and more than 40 biotech spin-outs. The close proximity of the research institutes, the hospital and biotechs has allowed us to establish important collaborations as well as access to state-of-the-art research facilities and scientific and clinical expertise. In our lab, we use molecular techniques and computational approaches to study RNA silencing. Our research is a mix of basic and translational with projects ranging from fundamental mechanisms to drug development. The weekly lab meeting is shared with several other groups interested in molecular disease mechanisms.
