Stuart Rushworth

Group Leader

I am the scientific group leader for molecular haematology research at Norwich Medical School, University of East Anglia, UK. I completed my bachelors degree at the University of Sunderland and my PhD at the University of Cambridge with a focus on immunology. I undertook post-doctoral training at the University of Cambridge and the University of East Anglia before setting up my own group in 2013.

Charlotte Hellmich

PhD Student - Wellcome Trust

I graduated from Bristol Medical School in 2013 and started work at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital as a Haematology Trainee in 2017. I first joined the Rushworth lab as an Academic Clinical Fellow and started my Wellcome Trust Clinical Research Fellowship in 2019. My research focus is ageing in the bone marrow microenvironment in the context of infection.

Edyta Wojtowicz

Postdoc Fellow - Wellcome Trust

I am a Sir Henry Wellcome Postdoctoral Fellow at the Earlham Institute and the Norwich Medical School. I completed my MSc at the Jagiellonian University followed by my PhD at the University Medical Centre, Groningen as a Marie Curie Early Stage Researcher. My first Postdoctoral position was in Jacobsen lab at Karolinska Institutet. I am now working on developing new methodologies to study lineage tracing in normal and stressed haematopoiesis.

Rebecca Maynard

PhD Student - NMS

I graduated from the University of Manchester with an integrated master's in Biomedical Sciences.  I am a PhD student investigating the effects of obesity on the blood stem cell niche and what changes are made to the bone marrow microenvironment. I am interested in how these changes affect the immune cell and therefore the progression of acute myeloid leukaemia.

Aisha Jibril

PhD Student - Big C

I graduated from Aston University with a degree in cell and molecular biology. I am a PhD student investigating the role of mitochondrial damage associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) in the bone marrow microenvironment in multiple myeloma. I hope to shed light on how these mitochondrial DAMPs are associated with the inflammatory microenvironment that is involved in multiple myeloma disease progression.
