Early life and education

Fielding was a medical student at University College London. [2] She was a trainee in haematology (the medical specialty covering blood disorders including cancer) and general medicine in London. She moved to the Medical Research Council laboratory in Cambridge for her doctoral research, and completed her doctorate in 1999. [3] [4]

Research and career

In 1999, Fielding was appointed assistant professor at the Mayo Clinic. [4] She returned to the United Kingdom in 2003, where she joined University College London, becoming Professor of Haematology, and the Royal Free Hospital for clinical practice. She moved clinical practice to University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust in 2015, where she worked in the leukemia service. In 2023, she moved to the University of York, where she is a Professor of Haematology and Head of Experimental Biomedicine at the Hull York Medical School. [5] She is also the Clinical Director of the University of York Centre for Blood Research. [6] She currently sees patients at the Queens Centre, Castle Hill Hospital, Hull. [7]

Her research efforts look to improve the lives of people with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). [8] She is part of several clinical trials into ALL, which include studying the underlying mechanisms and searching for new treatments. [9] Fielding has developed an attenuated oncolytic measles virus that can be used as a treatment of ALL. [2]

Fielding was elected President of the British Society for Haematology in 2020 and was succeeded in 2022 by Josh Wright. [10]
