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 51cg. 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 was the first recipient of Friends of Anchor's Transition to Independence Fellowship and I am currently funded by the British Heart Foundation to investigate dysregulated fibrinolysis in cancer associated thrombosis.
