Professor Anita Harding
Professor Anita Harding became the first Professor of Clinical Neurology in the United Kingdom, and was the first to describe disorders due to Mitochondrial DNA mutations. Alongside with Ian Holt and John Morgan-Hughes, Harding described the "first identification of a mitochondrial DNA mutation in human disease and the concept of tissue heteroplasmy of mutant mitochondrial DNA", published in Nature in 1986.

Nature journal has a new look as a tribute to Anita Harding:
"All Nature's text is now in a custom typeface called Harding, named in memory of Professor Anita Harding, an inspirational professor at UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology who made important contributions to neurogenetics before her death at the age of just 42."
