I completed my MSci in Biomedical Sciences at Newcastle University in 2013, and remained there for my PhD at the Wellcome Trust Centre for Mitochondrial Research where I investigated the pathogenesis of mitochondrial dysfunction in patients with mitochondrial disease. In April 2017, I moved to King’s College London to work on a project in Dr Afshan Malik’s lab investigating diabetic complications, specifically diabetic nephropathy. In June 2020 I became a Lab Technician for the Department of Diabetes, and in 2021 was appointed Lab Manager.
