Speaker's biography
Rachel van Heugten joined the Exeter Genomics Laboratory in 2017. She works as healthcare scientist in a team that specialises in monogenic forms of diabetes and hyperinsulinism, providing genetic testing for patients around the world. Working closely with researchers at the University of Exeter, this team is able to rapidly implement the latest research findings into diagnostic practice.
Prior to joining the Exeter Laboratory, Rachel lived in New Zealand where she employed her genetics knowledge in conservation work on a range of species from mudfish to parakeets. Whatever she is working on, Rachel relishes the opportunity to share her enthusiasm for science
