Dr Norah Fogarty

Group Leader/Lecturer

Biography

Research Interests: Placenta, Trophoblast, Pregnancy

Norah obtained her PhD from the Centre for Trophoblast Research at the University of Cambridge, where she studied transcriptional dynamics in the syncytiotrophoblast of the human placenta. She subsequently undertook postdoctoral training in the lab of Prof. Kathy Niakan at the Francis Crick Institute employing single-cell RNA-sequencing, CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing and molecular analyses of human embryos to elucidate lineage-specific gene expression. Norah was established her independent career at the Centre for Gene Therapy and Regenerative Medicine. She was awarded a King's Prize Fellowship in April 2020 and a UKRI Future Leader Fellowship in October 2023.

    Research

    Trophoblast and human embryo lab

    Our lab seeks to discover the molecular processes that underlie early placenta development.

    From Dev Biology to Regen Medicine-hero
    From Developmental Biology to Regenerative Medicine

    Understanding organ development and tissue regeneration provides a framework for elucidating disease mechanisms as well as for developing new therapeutics.
