Profile

I was awarded my PhD from the University of Sheffield in 2020 for my thesis describing novel genetic drivers of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), conducted under the supervision of Professor Dame Pamela Shaw and Dr. Johnathan Cooper-Knock. I undertook postdoctoral training in the same lab to build upon my PhD research which included a period of study in California, USA. I was then awarded a Lady Edith Wolfson MND Association Fellowship in 2024 to investigate disruption of membrane lipid raft homeostasis and localised neurotrophin signalling impairments in ALS.
