Anjali Gupta Hinch

Work summary

Anjali is a group leader and Sir Henry Dale Fellow, supported by the Wellcome Trust and Royal Society. She was awarded the Wellcome Beit Prize in 2021.  

Anjali is interested in germline DNA metabolism. Her lab uses a combination of computational and experimental approaches towards understanding the biological mechanisms of mutation and meiotic recombination and their impacts on species and their evolution.
