Originally from New Zealand, Lizzy obtained her BSc degree in Physiology from the University of Otago in 2004. After completing her PhD at the University of Cambridge in 2009, she undertook post-doctoral training in Edinburgh and Manchester and in 2015 was awarded a BHF Intermediate Fellowship to establish her own independent research group in the Maternal and Fetal Health Research Centre in Manchester.
Lizzy’s research aims to better understand how maternal health and disease influence pregnancy outcomes and the long-term health of both mothers and their children. A major aim is to develop rational intervention strategies to improve outcomes in complicated pregnancies. This is achieved using a range of translational research models to study cell signalling and organ function, through to whole body physiology and clinical trials.
