Final year PhD student with specific interests in the developmental origins of health and disease (DOHaD), in particular the programming of metabolic and cardiovascular disease by maternal obesity and/or nutrition. Currently working on the long-term effects of prenatal metformin exposure in obese pregnancy using a mouse model of maternal diet-induced obesity, where I am specifically focusing on the cardiovascular system and adipose tissue of affected offspring.
Broader academic interests include endocrinology, regulation of energy balance, diabetes and spermatogenesis; I am also interested in science communication and evidence-based policy. I will be finishing my PhD in 2020 and am looking for postdoctoral opportunities in related fields.
