Dr Sheon Samji

  • Research Fellow (School of Cardiovascular & Metabolic Health)

Biography

Sheon Mary Samji is a Research Fellow at the School of Cardiovascular and Metabolic Health (SCMH) at the University of Glasgow, specializing in molecular biology with a focus on proteomics. With over 12 years of academic and research experience, her expertise spans protein mass spectrometry, cell and molecular biology, and biochemistry.

Her academic journey began with a BSc and MSc in Biotechnology from the University of Pune, India, followed by a PhD in Biochemical Sciences from CSIR-National Chemical Laboratory (India), where she investigated proteomic patterns in pre-eclampsia. Sheon joined University of Glasgow as Newton International Fellow in 2018 funded by the Academy of Medical Sciences and the Royal Society. Before her tenure in Glasgow, she worked as a scientist at Enzene Bioscience Ltd (India), managing teams to characterize therapeutic biosimilars and novel medicinal compounds.

Her research interests revolve around understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying cardiovascular and renal diseases. Her work focuses on uromodulin, a protein linked to salt-sensitive hypertension and kidney function, investigating its role in the regulation of cardiovascular health and its response to environmental factors like salt, pregnancy, diabetes, heart failure and hypertension. Beyond research, Dr. Samji is actively involved in mentoring PhD students and teaching courses on proteomics, and she plays a key role in promoting equality and mental health awareness within SCMH.
