Dr Helena Cochemé is a UKRI Investigator at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS), where she leads the Redox Metabolism group. She received her PhD in Biochemistry from the University of Cambridge at the MRC Mitochondrial Biology Unit under the supervision of Professor Mike Murphy. Subsequently, she worked as a post-doc at the Institute of Healthy Ageing, UCL in the laboratory of Professor Dame Linda Partridge.
Research in the Cochemé lab aims to gain mechanistic insight into the ageing process, principally leveraging Drosophila as a pre-clinical model system. She is particularly interested in studying the role of redox signalling in vivo, utilising a combination of unbiased redox proteomics and targeted genetic knock-in approaches. Her group also explores the impact of dietary interventions and metabolic dysfunction on survival. Ultimately, her work aims to uncover novel targets and therapeutic strategies for intervention to achieve health and longevity benefits.
