    I am the Data Prizes Manager at Wellcome. I completed my PhD in genetics at University of Edinburgh, after which I focused on biogerontology as a Postdoctoral Fellow at University College London. Since joining Wellcome, I have worked on major initiatives at the intersection of global health and data. These include Wellcome's Africa and Asia Programmes, Health Data Research UK, and more recently led Wellcome Data Prizes Programme. I am passionate about equitable use of health-related data and making a positive impact on health globally through science and technology.
