“Science doesn’t have borders and our research team brings together diverse skills, expertise and experience from across the globe to address important questions about the metabolic nature of PCOS.”
DAISy-PCOS is a national Wellcome Trust funded research programme led by Professor Wiebke Arlt, Director of the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences. Our research is carried out in collaboration with several research teams in the United Kingdom and across the globe. Collectively, our large multidisciplinary team comprises a talented and committed group of clinician-scientists, biomedical and data scientists, healthcare practitioners and engagement professionals with a wide range of skills and experience.
The DAISy-PCOS research programme began in 2019, and over the years, we’ve welcomed many passionate individuals to the research team (listed below). In addition, the research team has a strong track record of undertaking a wide range of involvement and engagement activities with the PCOS community to ensure our research has relevance and positive impact from their perspectives.
