Rebecca Dimond is a research associate on a project focusing on the social and ethical aspects of mitochondrial disease. Through media analysis, interviews with patients and clinicians and observation of clinical consultations, this project will seek to identify communication challenges and policy implications of rare and complex diseases.
Rebecca has extensive experience of documenting the social aspects of genetic disease. Rebecca completed her PhD in Social Sciences in 2010. This was a multi-sited ethnography which looked at how a rare genetic syndrome, 22q11 deletion syndrome, was negotiated by patients, parents and health professionals within the context of the clinic and conference. Rebecca previously worked as a research assistant at Cesagen on a project focusing on transgenerational communication strategies of patients and carriers of haemophila and before this, was a research assistant with the Welsh Centre for Learning Disabilities at Cardiff University. While studying for her PhD, Rebecca gained an MSc in Social Science Research Methods and has a BSc and MA with the Open University.
