Overview

Hannah M. Mitchison is affiliated with University College London in the United Kingdom. Their research spans multiple areas in medicine and biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology, with substantial contributions in pulmonary and respiratory medicine, genetics, molecular biology, cell biology, and surgery.

Their recent publication record includes work on the cellular and genetic mechanisms underlying airway diseases and ciliary function. Notable papers include:

  • "Motile cilia and airway disease" (2020), published in Seminars in Cell and Developmental Biology
  • "Axonemal structures reveal mechanoregulatory and disease mechanisms" (2023), published in Nature
  • "Topological data analysis reveals genotype-phenotype relationships in primary ciliary dyskinesia" (2021), published in European Respiratory Journal
  • "Identification of a wide spectrum of ciliary gene mutations in nonsyndromic biliary atresia patients implicates ciliary dysfunction as a novel disease mechanism" (2021), published in EBioMedicine
  • "Genome sequencing reveals underdiagnosis of primary ciliary dyskinesia in bronchiectasis" (2022), published in European Respiratory Journal

Their research topics frequently cover cystic fibrosis research advances, genetic and kidney cyst diseases, neonatal respiratory health, tracheal and airway disorders, protist diversity and phylogeny, microtubule and mitosis dynamics, as well as genomics and rare diseases.

Hannah M. Mitchison has collaborated with several co-authors across many projects, including Mahmoud R. Fassad, Amelia Shoemark, Claire Hogg, Robert A. Hirst, and Jane S. Lucas.

Their publications often appear in journals such as bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), European Respiratory Journal, Nature, SSRN Electronic Journal, and UNC Libraries.
