About Julia
Julia Baptista was the Programme Lead for the MSc Healthcare Management, Leadership and Innovation and for the MSc Healthcare Improvement & Patient Safety at the Faculty of Health until April 2022.
An experienced educator and clinical scientist in genetics and genomics, Julia has a background of working within the NHS diagnostic services for patients with rare genetic diseases where she was a leading scientist providing diagnoses which could inform management and treatment for acutely unwell neonates and their families. Julia's work in the interface between clinical service and research has led to the identification of several novel disease genes and to expanding our understanding of rare diseases allowing families to make more informed decisions about their health.
Julia has extensive experience delivering clinical education to healthcare professionals through her previous roles as an Honorary Lecturer in Genomic Medicine, as the Rare Disease Scientific and Education Lead for Genome Sequencing at the South West Genomic Laboratory Hub and as a Faculty member at the European School of Genetic Medicine. She left the University of Plymouth to pursue her passion for genomics and is now a Scientific Training Officer (Practice Educator) and Clinical Scientist at the South East Genomics Laboratory Hub in London (King's College Hospital, Synnovis).
