Personal profile
Research interests
Angela is interested in steroid metabolism in health and disease. Angela's role involves the development of highly sensitivity, high throughput, well validated mass spectrometry assays for steroid analysis. Her research applies these assays to answer important clinical questions.
Biography
Angela has an analytical chemistry master’s degree from Swansea University (2005). In 2009 she received her PhD from Swansea University investigating steroid metabolism in the human endometrium using mass spectrometry. This was followed by post-doctoral work at the University of Birmingham working for Prof Wiebke Arlt, which cumulated in setting up the SMAC facility in 2016. The SMAC lab now conducts steroid research from wet lab based projects to clinical trials.
