Geula is a senior research associate at the Department of Genetics, University of Cambridge.
She is studying Genomic imprinting and the regulation of postnatal nutritional resources.
She started in neuroscience when she worked in Israel at Prof Hermona Soreq’s laboratory on MicroRNAs targeting the cholinergic system which modulates anxiety.
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.
