Dr Delphine Larrieu completed her PhD in 2010 at the University of Grenoble, France. She then undertook her postdoctoral training with Professor Steve Jackson at the University of Cambridge, with independent funding from EMBO and from the Medical Research Council. She then obtained a Sir Henry Dale Wellcome Trust fellowship, allowing her to set up her own lab at the Cambridge Institute for Medical Research.
Delphine’s lab is interested in understanding mechanisms driving rare premature ageing syndromes called progeria, and in identifying new ways to treat these diseases.
