Robin Lachmann,

I qualified in 1990 and trained in general internal medicine before doing a PhD on the use of Herpes Simplex Virus for gene delivery to the brain.  I then combined ongoing research on gene delivery in mouse models of lysosomal storage disorders with training in metabolic medicine.
In 2005 I took up my current position in the Charles Dent Metabolic Unit at University College London Hospitals.  We provide multidisciplinary care for adults with the range of inherited metabolic disorders, caring for about 2000 patients.
I am a previous chair of the SSIEM Adult Metabolic Physician Group, Chair of the Scientific Committee of the Recordati Rare Diseases Foundation, a member of the Fetal, Maternal and Child Health Group of the UK National Screening Committee and NHS England’s National Specialist Advisor for Metabolic Disorders.
