Kristen Hawkins

BSc, PhD

Postdoctoral Researcher

I am interested in unpicking the underlying mechanisms of multiple sclerosis; specifically, what drives progressive disease.

I completed my undergraduate degree in Medical Genetics at Swansea University. I also completed my PhD project 'Cholesterol Dysregulation in Multiple Sclerosis: Implications for Pathogenesis and Opportunities for Monitoring and Treating Progressive Disease' under the supervision of Dr Owain Howell at Swansea University.

My PhD and related work have given me an appreciation for all things tissue related and I am now applying this whilst working within the Centre of Neuroinflammation as a postdoctoral researcher to help unpick the drivers of MS in the context of neuroinflammation.
