 RILD Building 

 

University of Exeter Medical School, RILD Building, RD&E Hospital Wonford, Barrack Road, Exeter, EX2 5DW, UK

Overview

My main current research focus is on epigenetic changes observed in twins discordant for disease, I am currently collating one of the largest cohorts of schizophrenia discordant twins in epigenetic research. My other research interests include the effects of CNVs on DNA methlyation patterns, how THC exposure influences DNA methylation and profiling other epigenetic modifications.

 

Qualifications

I graduated with an honours degree in Genetics from Cardiff University in 1998 and subsequently spent two years in industry. In 2000 I was awarded an MRC predoctoral studentship to undertake a PhD at the Institute of Psychiatry, King’s College London (KCL) where I focused on identifying genetic variation associated with schizophrenia.

Career

 After completing my PhD I moved to Canada where I was awarded a University of Toronto Postdoctoral Fellowship to examine functional variation in genes related to stress in the aetiology of depression. Family circumstances brought me back to the UK where I joined Dr Mill’s psychiatric epigenetics group in KCL and then subsequently relocated with Professor Mill to the University of Exeter in 2012.
