Jenny A Hurcombe

Dr. Jenny A Hurcombe is a Senior Research Associate at the Bristol Medical School within the University of Bristol. Her research focuses on podocyte biology, diabetic nephropathy, insulin resistance, and kinase signaling pathways.

• Education: B.Sc. from the University of Exeter, Ph.D. from the University of Bristol

Her recent work explores mechanisms of podocyte dysfunction in diabetic kidney disease, insulin-like growth factor receptor inhibition, and the role of kinase signaling in mitochondrial protection. Publications span nephrology and neuroscience domains, reflecting interdisciplinary collaborations.

Her research outputs highlight proteomics, transcriptomics, and drug discovery (e.g., AZD5438) for kidney and neurodegenerative diseases.
