Postdoctoral Research Fellow and anatomist researching vascular dysfunction in SMA & MS at the University of Aberdeen. Passionate about patient-centred science!
Had a fantastic day at #MNDLEARN in Aberdeen! I presented on how blood vessels may influence MND progression & loved connecting with researchers and those with lived experience. Big thanks to @MNDScotland for an inspiring event! πβ‘ #MNDResearch
Well done @hazelAllardyce_ on a fantastic talk about her work on blood vessels in #MNDs at the @MNDScotland#LEARN event at Pittodrie stadium today. It was great to meet and talk with families affected by MNDs (just a shame I forgot to take a photo!)
βοΈ Wrapped up summer conference season at #ISMS2025 in beautiful Lisbon!
Loved sharing my work from @ParsonLab on bloodβspinal cord barrier dysfunction in SMA and connecting with anatomists from across the world. Great science, great people, great city!

Incredible week at @CureSMA 2025, where I presented on the role of vascular pathology in SMA.
Truly inspiring to meet patients and their families to connect and hear their stories. Thank you for the opportunity to share and learn!

Thrilled to share that Iβve received the Hampton Award from the @EuansCentre for going above and beyond in the MND community π§ π
Honoured to be recognised for my work in patient engagement and public outreach, to connect researchers with those who matter most!
#MND#PPI
An inspiring day at the #CORE2025 event, hosted by @MNDScotland and @MNDoddie5, bringing together researchers and those with lived experience of MND.
Thank you for a fantastic opportunity to connect, share insights and discuss the real impact of MND!
