Dr. Elspeth Cavendish

Elspeth Cavendish joined Aldenmoor in 2017 following postdoctoral fellowships at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge and the Weizmann Institute in Israel. She holds a European Research Council Consolidator Grant for her work on disordered protein regions and their role in the onset of neurodegenerative disease.

Her laboratory — the Cavendish Group for Molecular Dynamics — currently employs twelve researchers. The group’s 2022 paper in Nature Structural & Molecular Biology on TDP-43 aggregation dynamics was named among the journal’s top ten most-cited papers of the year.
