Lea Sayce grew up in a working class home in an underserved and underprivileged area of the UK and was the first person from her family to attend university. During her undergrad, she spent a year in industry working as a Clinical Data Analyst and discovered it was not for her, instead switching her focus to neurogenetics which led to studying sensorineural hearing loss. Sayce has moved through industry and clinical research and is currently investigating the pathobiology of voice disorders.
Sayce’s teaching philosophy is that everything learned at university is training. Students may not know where they’re going next (and that’s okay!), but the knowledge they gain now will facilitate their future in some way.
