Louise’s cytoskeleton research has contributed novel cell polarisation and cell motility mechanisms, which have featured multiple times in the scientific news, most recently 2018. Since then she has focused on education research to identify the origin of the difference in scores awarded to minority ethnic and white undergraduate students (with white students receiving the higher marks). Her findings have been highlighted in Times Higher Education and Nature Magazine. Her work will help provide much needed evidence-based interventions to reduce this ethnicity award gap and consequent career progression gaps.
