Emily Haughton

I studied at Exeter University, graduating with first-class honours in Biological Sciences. Whilst there, I worked on a project establishing A. dispar as a model organism for the study of human disease. After graduating, I began working in the Wood Group as a research assistant for the CureHeart project. My work currently focuses on improving the delivery of genetic therapies to the heart through strategies such as antibody conjugation and extracellular vesicle engineering. I also develop high-throughput screens of therapeutic compounds such as novel antisense oligonucleotides to evaluate their potential for treating inherited cardiomyopathies.
