UCL Huntington’s Disease Centre

Check out the August 2026 edition of the #HD Clinical Trials Update, published today in @journal_hd and freely available online! 🔓 journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.… Thank you to Profesors Ed Wild, Sarah Tabrizi and Dr @OpeyemiKinyomi, as well as Professors Leslie Thompson and Blair Leavitt for their contributions.

Still feels surreal to say that I successfully defended my PhD viva with no corrections. Huge thanks to my examiners (Prof Rosser and Prof Rohrer) and to my incredible supervisors (Prof Tabrizi, Prof Scahill and Prof Wild) for their guidance and support throughout this journey. I’m also forever grateful to everyone @UCLHD @UCLIoN who supported me along the way. As written in my thesis dedication: for the #HD community. #PhDone 🥳

So much @UCLHD love at my leaving do! Thank you to everyone who made the last three years of my PhD journey such a joy. @UCLBrainScience @UCLIoN

Signing off from the @LWENCCRF with this wonderful team. 3 years of teamwork, learning and shared commitment to our #HD clinical trials @UCLHD @UCLIoN - thank you all for making it so special.

I am incredibly honoured to share that I have been awarded the @UKDRI PhD Prize at #Connectome 2025! My heartfelt thanks go to my superb PhD supervisors (Professors Sarah Tabrizi, Rachael Scahill and Ed Wild) and to my thesis committee (Professors Geraint Rees and Henrik Zetterberg). I’m also very grateful to all our collaborators, and to my supportive colleagues and friends @UCLHD @UCLIoN. Above all, I want to thank the incredible #HD-YAS participants, whose commitment, generosity and time have made this work possible. As my PhD journey comes to an end, it has been a privilege to contribute to research that brings us closer to preventive therapies for Huntington’s disease, and I’m truly humbled to receive this recognition.
