Alison Woollard (born 1968 in Kingston-upon-Thames) is a Lecturer in the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Oxford[11][12][13][14] where she is also a Fellow of Hertford College, Oxford.[1]

Education

Woollard was educated at University of London, gaining her undergraduate degree in Biological Sciences in 1991 and gained her Doctor of Philosophy degree at the University of Oxford on fission yeast supervised by Paul Nurse in 1995.[2][15]

Research

Woollard's research focuses on developmental biology of the nematode model organism Caenorhabditis elegans[16][17][18] particularly RUNX genes.[19][20]

Awards and honours

In 2013 Woollard presented the Royal Institution Christmas Lectures.[2]
