BHF Accelerator Fellow and KRUK Fellow in the Division of Cardiovascular Sciences at The University of Manchester.
We are interested in understanding the molecular drivers of diabetic vascular disease (specifically diabetic kidney disease), with the ultimate goal of identifying novel therapeutic targets.
Our research combines data from laboratory model systems (e.g., human cells) and computational methods focused on integrating molecular data from human kidney with large-scale population studies.
Abigail graduated from the University of Leeds in 2011 with a BSc in Microbiology with Immunology. She undertook her PhD at the University of Bristol under the supervision of Professor Richard Coward and Professor Gavin Welsh, which was awarded in 2015.
In 2021, Abigail was awarded a BHF Accelerator Fellowship from The University of Manchester to continue her research on the mechanisms underlying diabetic vascular disease and subsequently a Kidney Research UK Fellowship in 2022.
