Then, she moved to microRNAs that function in liver metabolism and studied hepatic steatosis.
For a postdoc, she joined Prof. Anne Ferguson-Smith’s laboratory at Cambridge as a FEBS fellow and Newton Royal Society fellow, to study epigenetic control of lactation in the context of developmental metabolism and the origins of health and disease.
