Her work also covers bone marrow diseases caused by genetic mutations. With every case, she brings clinical insight and research-based strategies. Not only does this ensure effective care, but it also drives innovation in treatment.

Pioneering Research in Haematology and Immunology

In addition to clinical practice, Dr Bigley conducts cutting-edge research. She explores how dendritic cells, which regulate the immune system, develop from bone marrow. Moreover, her team studies how genetic errors can cause dysfunction in these vital cells.

Thanks to a Wellcome Intermediate Fellowship (2013–2018), her research has advanced understanding of rare immunological diseases. Further support from BrightRed, The George Walker Trust, the British Society for Haematology, and the Medical Research Council has allowed her to expand this vital work.
