Education
Tabrizi studied biochemistry at Heriot-Watt University followed by medicine at Edinburgh University where she graduated with the Gold Medal (Ettles Scholar) for top student. She obtained a PhD at University College London in 2000.
Research
Tabrizi is distinguished for her work on Huntington's disease pathobiology, biomarkers, outcome measures and clinical trials. She led the influential multi-site TRACK-HD cohort study of Huntington's disease that established a battery of clinical trial outcome measures. She is the lead Clinical Investigator for the first clinical trial of a 'gene silencing' or huntingtin-lowering drug in Huntington's disease patients. Tabrizi gave a keynote presentation at the 2016 Google Zeitgeist Minds conference about the trial, and the prospect of gene silencing for neurodegenerative disease.
As of November 2016, Tabrizi had authored over 300 publications, with over 12,500 citations for her research.
