Dr Dianna E Wilkinson

Dianna Wilkinson is a molecular and cellular biologist by training, having earned both a first class honours degree in Biotechnology (1996) and a PhD in Biochemistry (2000) from University College London. 

After her PhD, Dianna worked at the University of Connecticut Health Center as a post-doctoral research fellow investigating the cellular biology of Herpes Simplex Virus Type I infection, particularly with respect to the cellular response to DNA damage.
