Profile

Dr Maria Fragiadaki was appointed Senior Lecturer at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) in 2022. Her lab is based at the William Harvey Research Institute, Charterhouse Square. She is awarded a UKRI ‘Future Leaders Fellowship’ (2021-2027). She previously held a Kidney Research UK Intermediate Fellowship and a Springboard Award from the Academy of Medical Sciences. 

She received a PhD in Molecular Medicine from Imperial College London, Hammersmith Campus (2009), a BSc (with honours) in Genetics from the University of Aberdeen (2005) and held post-doctoral positions at Imperial and the University of Sheffield MRC Centre for Biomedical Genetics. 

Her laboratory is interested in the elucidation of the pathways that enhance the healthy lifespan, with a particular focus on proliferation, inflammation and cellular stress in the context of kidney and cardiovascular disease. Specifically, we aim to elucidate the intricate interplay between RNA and RNA binding proteins in determining cellular homeostasis in renal epithelial and vascular cells in vitro and in vivo using models of disease.
