Overview

Sarah Richardson is an Associate Professor of Cellular Biomedicine in the Islet Biology Exeter (IBEx) team, is a Co-Director of Postgraduate Research (PGR) for the Department of Clinical and Biomedical Sciences, and is a Steve Morgan Foundation Grand Challenge Senior Research Fellow. She is passionate about Type 1 diabetes (T1D) and Team Science. She has held prestigious Fellowships from the Wellcome Trust, the Diabetes Research Wellness Foundation, and the JDRF 5-year Career Development Award. Her research utilises cohorts of T1D pancreas samples and is centred around developing a clearer understanding of the processes by which beta cells are targeted and destroyed. She curates the Exeter Archival Diabetes Biobank which contains the rarest collection of recent-onset T1D pancreata. She was the first recipient of the network of Pancreatic Organ Donors (nPOD) Junior Investigator Award, awarded for being a champion of collaborative spirit and data sharing, and was a Diabetes UK Innovators in Diabetes participant. She is the Chair of the JDRF-UK Scientific Advisory Council, a Diabetes UK Research Studies Group member, and she sits on the UK T1D Research Consortium (UK T1D-RC) management board.

Research interests

Dr Richardson gives an overview of her research into the role enteroviruses may have in causing Type 1 diabetes in the video below, filmed at the Living Systems Symposium 2016.

Research projects

Main Research Areas:

Leveraging rare pancreas biobanks to better understand Type 1 diabetes (and other pancreatic diseases)

Key objectives:

  • Pancreas restructuring during life in health and disease
  • Identification of strategies that can protect (or sensitise) beta cells to immune attack in Type 1 diabetes
  • Tissue target validation for current and emerging immunotherapies
