HELEN ZENNER BRANCO

CHIEF WRITER

Helen is a cell biologist with a passion for science communication. She completed her PhD in Cell Biology at UCL, where her love of membrane trafficking began. Since then she has continued to do research in virology, medicine and immunology and development. Although most researchers admit that nothing beats the thrill of making a new discovery with their own eyes, in order for research to have a positive impact on society, communication is key. Helen loves to share research stories with a diverse range of audiences, from the scientific community to schoolchildren and the general public.
