Professor Adrienne Flanagan FMedSci

Adrienne Flanagan is Professor of musculoskeletalpathology at UCL and is perhaps the most distinguished academic in this field in Europe. She has made major contributions to the biology of osteoclasts in conditions such as osteopetrosis, and made a major advance with her discovery of the locus for the gene causing cherubism. Adrienne has also been very pro-active in developing collaborative links to advance genetic studies in sarcomas and is a great role model for young pathologists. She has shown that it is possible to combine an active and successful research programme with a very high quality surgical pathology and has recently become Head of Department at UCL.
