Hello MDSG members, I am Ami,  you may have met me before at the MDSG conferences or fish and chip lunches, where I have given talks or updates on my work.

I am a research scientist and started my career working with Professor David Brook in 2006 at the University of Nottingham.  During this time I have been doing research to try and understand more about myotonic dystrophy with the hope to develop a treatment.

I have 2 children, Harry (7) and Maisy (4) and I took a break from the lab to look after them over the last few years.  Now that Maisy has started school I have recently returned to research and have won funding support to start a project looking at the heart symptoms in myotonic dystrophy and the genes that may be involved.  I feel very lucky to be able to return to research and be working on a project that I feel so passionate about.

The MDSG has always been supportive of me and my research and so I would love to return that support by contributing to the continued success of the group.
