Sally is Group Leader - Device in the Materials & Devices for Life Sciences (MDLS) Institute at EIT. She leads Device Engineering, developing the experimental platforms that accelerate discovery in Nanopore Sensing and Tissue Engineering and translate new scientific concepts into scalable prototype systems for future applications.

Prior to working at EIT, she led teams at Oxford Nanopore Technologies and Sharp Life Science, automating and miniaturising complex molecular biology workflows on the Sharp digital microfluidics (DMF) platform.

She is a chemist with a PhD from the University of Cambridge and more than 30 years’ experience in cross-disciplinary R&D spanning chemistry, engineering and life sciences. Outside the laboratory, Sally enjoys ceramics, reading and long walks in remote parts of the UK.
