Biography
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.
Research

Malik lab
The Malik lab is part of the School of Cardiovascular and Metabolic Medicine & Sciences

Mitochondria & Diabetes Research Group
We are interested in understanding how mitochondria are involved in diabetes and its complications. The group also has an interest in developing methods to study mitochondrial dysfunction in complex diseases and in strategies for improving mitochondrial function.
News
Damage to mitochondrial DNA in diabetes could underlie adult blindness
Researchers have identified mutations in the mitochondrial DNA of patients with diabetic retinopathy, that could increase the progression of the disease.
