I was awarded a Research Training Fellowship by the NIHR Manchester Biomedical Research Centre from 2008 to 2011 to study the ''Genetics of Metabolic Disorders with Haematological Manifestations'' under the supervision of Dr. Bill Newman. During my Fellowship I also developed an interest in Kabuki syndrome, now known to be developmental disorder of chromatin remodelling.
