Norah Fogarty

Group leader

CSCRM,Kings College

Norah obtained her PhD from the University of Cambridge where she studied trophoblast biology in the human placenta with a focus on transcriptional dynamics in the syncytiotrophoblast. She subsequently undertook postdoctoral training in the lab of Dr. Kathy Niakan at the Francis Crick Institute employing single-cell RNA-sequencing, CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene editing and molecular analyses of human embryos to elucidate lineage-specific gene expression. Norah was awarded a King’s Prize Fellowship to establish her independent group at the CSCRM in April 2020.
