Alumni

This person is a member of Sanger Institute Alumni.

I am the project administrator for Deciphering Developmental Disorders (DDD). My duties include communication with the regional genetics services to help with the smooth running of the project and the co-ordination of data supply to over 120 complementary analysis projects.

Prior to joining the WTSI I worked as a computational biologist in the pharmaceutical industry where I also gained experience as a project manager in drug discovery. Prior to my time in industry I worked in academia on eye diseases, DNA repair and mutation mechanisms.
