I graduated from Christ’s College, Cambridge University in 2001 and have worked in clinical neurology and Huntington’s disease (HD) research since 2005. 

I have authored 7 book chapters and over 80 peer-reviewed publications.

I serve on the Medical Advisory Panel of the Huntington’s Disease Association, the Association of British Neurologists Neurogenetics Advisory Panel, and the Translational Neurology Panel of the European Academy of Neurology. I am Associate Editor of the Journal of Huntington’s Disease and advise the steering committee to the UK All-Party Parliamentary Group on Huntington’s disease. I am the co-Lead Facilitator of the European Huntington’s Disease Network‘s Biomarkers Working Group.

I believe that scientists have a duty to make their work accessible and understandable to the people who need it most. In 2010, I co-founded HDBuzz, an online source of reliable, impartial, easy-to-understand information about HD research. HDBuzz is now the world’s foremost HD research news source. In recognition of this, I was awarded the 2012 Michael Wright Community Leadership Award by the Huntington Society of Canada and the 2014 Research Award by the Huntington’s Disease Society of America.
