Personal profile
Overview
I'm a Clinical Senior Lecturer in the Division of Diabetes, Endocrinology Gastroenterology. I completed my PhD at the University of Manchester in 2019, having held an MRC Clinical Research Training Fellowship. I now hold a Wellcome Trust Early Career Award (2023-)
My research is based within the Centre for Biological Timing. I'm interested in how nuclear receptors (including core clock proteins) and the gene regulatory environment direct energy metabolism in adipose and liver. During my Wellcome fellowship, I will be investigating the role of core clock protein NR1D1 in the development of adipocyte dysfunction in obesity.
I also work as an Honorary Consultant Endocrinologist at the Diabetes, Endocrinology & Metabolism Centre at Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust (Oxford Road Campus).
Memberships of committees and professional bodies
I am a member of the Society for Endocrinology, and served as chair of the Early Career Steering Group from 2020-2021.
