I completed a Masters in Pharmacy at the University of Bath in 2004, and subsequently worked as a Clinical Pharmacist in Cornwall before completing an MSc and PhD in Neuroscience at UCL, studying the postnatal maturation of inhibitory processing in the spinal dorsal horn. I was subsequently awarded a Pioneer Fund Postdoctoral Scholar Award, followed by a Marie Skłodowska-Curie International Outgoing Fellowship to work at the Salk Institute where I studied molecularly defined spinal circuits and their role in motor behaviour, using intersectional genetics and molecular biology. I am now a Group Leader in the Department of Neuroscience, Physiology and Pharmacology, focusing on the specification of task-selective spinal sensorimotor circuits. I regularly present at both clinical and basic science meetings in Europe, Canada and the United States and review articles for both specialised and high impact journals. My laboratory is part of the Institute of Sensorimotor Neuroscience at UCL.
