Bio

Hencher’s medical team have uncovered an unexpected cause of a mysterious disease, considered by some to be a ‘family curse’.

The disease has not been known in other population­s of the world, and is thought to derive from a single family ancestor.

The team hope their discovery will raise awareness of this discovery for medical profession­als across the world.

Dr Hencher Lee’s main duties include provision of interpreta­tive reporting and consultati­on services, in addition to supervisin­g laboratory operations.

She also holds honorary teaching posts in the two local medical schools and teaches both undergradu­ate and postgradua­te students. Her research interests include neurogenet­ics, inborn errors of metabolism and genetic counsellin­g.

She has co-authored a book chapter as well as more than 40 peerreview­ed articles in indexed journals.
