Academic Background and Previous Positions
After graduating from Oxford with a degree in Biological Sciences, Kenny studied at Imperial College London, first obtaining a Masters degree in the Molecular Biology of Viruses, and subsequently completing a PhD in Gene Therapy approaches to HBV infection. Kenny then secured a post-doctoral research position within the National Cancer Institute at Frederick, Maryland, within the retrovirology section investigating factors involved in recombination of HIV-1. Upon returning to the UK, Kenny acquired a post-doctoral research position within the James Lab on an NIH funded project to exploit aptamer technology for antiviral microbicides which subsequently lead onto becoming one of the first James Martin Stem Cell Research Fellows.
