Biography
I have spent the last 23 years as a Research Assistant, at the University, where my focus has been in the field of Developmental Programming. This focused on the use of human and animal models to disentangle the mechanisms linking a suboptimal maternal environment with increased risk of the exposed infant having increased risk of adult disease in later life. During this time I have gained 47 papers in high impact factor journals.
