Helen Falconer

Helen is a laboratory technician in Professor William Wood’s lab within the Institute of Regeneration and Repair.

Helen’s vital contribution to her team is applauded by her colleagues who consider her an ‘unsung hero’ and ‘arguably the most important member of the team’.

In her daily job Helen makes the food for the lab’s model organisms – flies. She is described as consistent, diligent and dedicated by fellow team members who would not be able to continue the research they conduct in the internationally recognised lab.

Helen is proud to have contributed to the lab team achieving publication of their paper on Drosophila in Current Biology.
