Biomarkers

Unique biological ‘fingerprints’ that signal the presence of a disease and can be measured to give information on disease activity and progression.

I’m part of the High Value Income Generation Team at the MND Association, where I help donors stay connected to the research they’re supporting. I love sharing the stories behind the science, whether that’s through blogs like this one or updates on the progress being made by researchers. I also help identify exciting projects that could benefit from philanthropic support. Before joining the Association, I worked in diagnostic genetics in the NHS and overseas, and I have a PhD in muscle biomechanics and genetics from the University of St Andrews.
