Career Trajectory
Bio
I graduated with a B.Sc. in Biology from the University of Iceland in 2000 and worked at deCODE genetics (Reykjavik, Iceland) for three years before embarking on an academic career. I trained for a PhD degree in Prof. Kevin Ryan’s “Tumour Cell Death Laboratory” at the Cancer Research UK Beatson Institute and graduated with a PhD from University of Glasgow in October 2007. I have held two post-doctoral positions in Prof. Tessa Holyoake’s lab at the Paul O’Gorman Leukaemia Research Centre, which has been described as “a flagship model of integrated basic, translational and clinical research.” In 2013, I was awarded a Kay Kendall Leukaemia Fund Research Fellowship that supports “truly outstanding biomedical scientists prior to establishing an independent research group in an international centre of excellence”. This facilitated a successful application to the University of Glasgow’s flagship Leadership Fellowship scheme, which allowed me to setup my own research group at the world-class Wolfson Wohl Cancer Research Centre (WWCRC). Additionally, I was awarded the John Goldman Fellowship for Future Science, a prestigious award aimed at those with “passion for science, a desire to develop new ideas and translate scientific advances into clinical practice”. Through additional studentship/grant applications, collaborations, conferences, meetings and high-impact publications I achieved a promotion to a tenured Senior Lecturer in Cancer Research position in June 2018. My team focuses on the role of autophagy and energy metabolism in disease persistence and drug resistance in Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia and Acute Myeloid Leukaemia with the overall aim of targeting appropriate therapy to the stem cell compartment to remove the population in which drug resistance occurs.
