Dr. Prasad Rathi is a Consultant in Paediatric Endocrinology and Honorary Senior Clinical Lecturer at the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry, Queen Mary University of London. She specializes in adrenal disorders, puberty, and genetic endocrine conditions. Her research focuses on genetic disorders of primary adrenal insufficiency and sphingolipid metabolism, particularly Sphingosine-1-phosphate lyase (S1P Lyase) deficiency. She holds a PhD from the Centre for Endocrinology (2014), investigating oxidative stress in Triple A Syndrome and familial glucocorticoid deficiency.
Education: MBBS from Imperial College London (2004), followed by paediatric training and sub-specialization in Paediatric Endocrinology. Current research, funded by the Medical Research Council, explores mechanisms underlying S1P Lyase deficiency's effects on adrenal/gonadal development and potential therapeutic targets for adrenocortical carcinoma.
Collaborations include institutions such as UCSF (USA), University of Geneva (Switzerland), and University of Bristol (UK). Awards include Wellcome Trust and Barts Charity fellowships. She mentors PhD student Ruth Kwong and collaborates with post-doctoral researchers under Prof. Lou Metherell.
Her clinical practice at the Royal London Children’s Hospital covers all paediatric endocrinology and diabetes, with expertise in adrenal disorders and congenital conditions. Research extends to thyroid disease, nephrotic syndrome, and ichthyosis linked to S1P Lyase deficiency.
