Personal profile

Biography

I'm a developmental biologist who wants to know how tissues mineralise. I use fluorescent markers in bones and scales to track mineralisation on the subcellular scale using cool imaging techniques along the way! I have studied protein localisation in chicken, mouse, fish and cells to better understand signalling and development in ciliopathies and immunology at The University of Manchester, CRUK Beatson Institute and here at The Roslin Institute. I moved to The Roslin Institute in 2019 and translated this background to better understand bone disorders and mineralisation in mouse and human bone. In 2022 I was awarded a BBSRC Discovery Fellowship to translate this work into fish scales and wound healing in aquaculture. I am developing tools to better understand the mechanisms underpinning mineralisation, using scales as a model system. I use zebrafish, salmon and tilapia in my research.
