Dr Claire Hetherington MBiolSci

Personal Statement

I am a postdoctoral research associate in Professor Benedict Michael's Infection Neuroscience lab.
I began my scientific research career with a MBiolSci in Biochemistry & Molecular Cell Biology at the University of Sheffield, completing my masters research with Pfizer and Astrazeneca. I then undertook doctoral research in Translational Neuroscience at the University of Aberdeen, under the supervision of Dr Guy Bewick researching in vitro modelling of motor neurone disease using induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs).
In 2022, I moved to the University of Liverpool to undertake postdoctoral research on modelling CNS infections including supporting the COVID-CNS study.
