Dr Sarah Lang - Molecular/Cell/Developmental biology

Dr Sarah Duthie Lang graduated with a B.Sc. in Genetics from Edinburgh University, where her undergraduate research project focused on the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. She remained at Edinburgh for her Ph.D., where she studied G-protein coupled receptors in the human pituitary gland at the Human Reproductive Biology Unit. She then moved to the Medical Research Council’s Clinical Sciences Centre at the Hammersmith Hospital in London, where the focus of her research shifted to developmental epigenetics. Her post-doctoral studies centred on Xist RNA and its role in X-chromosome inactivation.
