Biography:
Sarah trained in Medicine at the University of Edinburgh, with an intercalated BMedSci in Experimental Pathology and postgraduate MSc in Translational Medicine. She completed her Histopathology training in Cambridge as an NIHR Academic Clinical Fellow and subsequently NIHR Clinical Lecturer. She undertook a mixed experimental-computational PhD at the CRUK Cambridge Institute, followed by a bioinformatics fellowship at the IRB Barcelona. Sarah started her research group at the MRC Toxicology Unit in 2021 and is also an Honorary Consultant Pathologist at Addenbrooke’s Hospital, Cambridge.
Research Interests:
The overall aim of our interdisciplinary research group is to investigate mechanisms of cellular damage, and to understand their consequences for human health and disease. We use experimental and computational approaches to study genomic, cellular, and tissue-level responses to environmental and drug-induced insults. By exploiting genomics and pathomics techniques, we study normal and diseased cells and tissues to identify molecular mechanisms which are dysregulated in disease, including cancer.
