Biography
Before coming to Cambridge, Hanane Hadj-Moussa completed her PhD at Carleton University in Canada in 2021. Her PhD work looked at elucidating the metabolic basis and non-coding RNA coordination necessary for animals to adapt to extreme environments. Hanane has worked on everything from hypoxic naked mole rats from South Africa, hibernating lemurs from Madagascar, torpid marsupials from Chile, and freeze tolerant frogs from Canada.
Hanane has published numerous scientific journal articles on the topic of metabolic regulation and has recently received a Marie-Curie postdoctoral fellowship to pursue the metabolic underpinnings of healthy ageing models at the Babraham Institute in Cambridge.
Other interests
Cycling, rock climbing, and hiking.
