BRS President elect

I am a Professor of Bone and Cancer Biology at The University of Sheffield. I gained her PhD at The University of Liverpool in 2001 and undertook post-doctoral training at CNRS, France and at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, USA.

My principal research interest is in understanding the basic cellular and molecular mechanisms responsible for musculoskeletal disease and cancer.

I have been a member of BRS since 1997 and I am passionate about giving back to the BRS the support that it has given me over the years!
