Personal life and education

Poston attended Felsted School in 1970, one of the first girls to be educated there after the school became co-educational.[1] She graduated with a degree in physiology from University College, London and was also awarded her doctorate by University of London.[2]

Career and research

She was appointed as a professor in King's College in 1995. Poston's research is about disorders of pregnancy especially when caused by maternal nutrition, and how children's lives can be affected. She has a large multidisciplinary research team with research projects that focus on premature birth, pre-eclampsia and complications from maternal obesity.[3] Poston founded and is Director of the Maternal and Fetal Research Unit which undertakes large-scale clinical trials.[4]

Her early research was into the control of the circulatory system of the placenta showed its relevance to pre-eclampsia. She led a clinical trial that changed medical practice through demonstrating that anti-oxidant supplements did not prevent pre-eclampsia.[4]
