Maz completed her PhD in Neurobiology at the University of Liverpool, where she explored the effects of fish oils on brain cell turnover and body weight. Following postdoctoral research in metabolic health, she moved into the field of pathology at the MLC, where she has spent the past decade developing pathology protocols, best practice and new approaches to support research.

Through her work with the Advance Training Centre, Maz brings together her experience in pathology, anatomy and physiology, and metabolic research to help develop skills, share knowledge and support the wider research community.
