Prior to joining Robert Gordon University, Dr Morrow was a Research Fellow at the University of Oxford for 6 years. She obtained her PhD in Medicine & Therapeutics (Immunohaematology) at the University of Aberdeen in 2018. Dr Morrow’s research interest is in the dysregulation of fibrinolysis in both inherited and acquired bleeding disorders, and she was recently awarded a Career Development Award from the UKRI Medical Research Council to unpick the cellular and molecular mechanisms that result in uncontrolled bleeding following traumatic injury. She also holds a Wellbeing of Women Postdoctoral Fellowship to investigate the role of the blood clotting pathway in endometriosis.
