Dr Hannah Maude

Hi guys, nice to meet you! I’m Hannah, a computational postdoc working at Imperial College London where I research how genetic variants cause metabolic and rare diseases. Despite the lab coat in the DNA& logo, I work entirely on the computer and haven’t conducted a lab experiment in >7 years!

As an extrovert and DNA enthusiast, I’m often found communicating genetics to anyone who will listen :-). Alongside the DNA& podcast, I have organised activities at festivals including the Great Exhibition Road Festival and Imperial Lates, volunteered with the Genetics Society and Royal Institution, and act as a Media Ambassador for the Society for Endocrinology. You can catch my “expert quotes” in outlets such as the Guardian, Times, Telegraph, Insider and Evening Standard. I can also be found sharing short educational videos on TikTok (@dr.hammaude).

I’m also Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA) and regularly participate in lecturing, supervising and teaching BSc, MSc and PhD students at Imperial College London. I love teaching to hope to continue sharing my enthusiasm for genetics across platforms!
