ResearchResearch interests
Dr Clarke's main research interest follows the work of the first experimental chapter of her PhD thesis - to use dielectrophoresis to identify an electrophysiological biomarker to quantitatively diagnose Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/ Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS).
She has also worked to identify electrophysiological changes in white blood cells following COVID-exposure, and to use dielectrophoresis to track chondrocyte dedifferentiation.
