In this edition, Dr Susan Campbell shares how her research can lead to novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets for disease. Dr. Campbell was appointed Senior Lecturer at Sheffield Hallam in 2013 and teaches across a range of undergraduate and postgraduate modules across the Biosciences degree programmes. Her research interests focus on understanding how cells regulation protein synthesis during stress and disease. She is also a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy, the Postgraduate Tutor for the Biomolecular Sciences Research Centre and the local ambassador for the Biochemical Society. In her words, "Within my research I am interested in how cells activate signalling pathways in response to stress and how these pathways become dysregulated or altered during chronic stress or disease.” Click here👉 https://lnkd.in/eqXrfj_q to read the full article and find out more about her inspiration, turning point in her career, opportunities to collaborate with her, and many more!
