Probiotic

A type of ‘friendly’ bacteria or yeast, found in fermented food and supplements, that helps keep the gut healthy.

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.
