Sir Henry Wellcome Postdoctoral Fellow
Dr Amy Vincent joined the Wellcome Centre for Mitochondrial Research at Newcastle University in 2013 to complete her PhD with Professor Doug Turnbull, Professor Robert Taylor and Dr Rita Barresi. She completed her PhD in May 2017 and continued as a post-doctoral scientist in the Centre.
In 2019, she was awarded a Sir Henry Wellcome Fellow. Her fellowship aims to understand how mitochondrial DNA deletions clonally expand with age and disease, with a focus on the impact of skeletal muscle biology. She also supervises and works on a range of projects investigating mechanisms of mitochondrial dysfunction in skeletal muscle and mitochondrial disease progression.
