Biography

I am an Advanced Research Fellow at the Aberdeen Cardiovascular and Diabetes Centre, Institute of Medical Science. I obtained my PhD in Medical Sciences at Rowett Research Institute of Nutrition and Health through the University of Aberdeen. My research to date has focused on cellular regulation of fibrinolysis with a particular interest in the role of platelets in directing this process. I have also investigated fibrinolytic dysregulation in disease situations including COVID-19, DVT and stroke.  I have recently started on a Transition to Independence Fellowship funded by Friends of Anchor to investigate dysregulated fibrinolysis in cancer associated thrombosis.
