Rest in peace to the guy who quite literally wooped with joy when I told him he could finally call me Dr O’Hanlon. One of my biggest supporters and favourite people in the whole world. Until we meet again Granda 🤍

Clearly my life wasn’t already chaotic enough - meet the newest member of the household and sister to Freya - Mollie (short for Molossus) 😂🙈

Fantastic to hear from @taylorlabncl discussing advances in mitochondrial disease diagnosis at @engageWCS #MitoMed24 conference. Great to hear about the work of Rob’s lab looking into functional testing to support genomic testing 👏🏼

So great to be back at @TeessideUni @TU_NHC for their Rare Disease Day event! Proud to be representing @4Lilyfoundation at the event, and giving a talk later about our work funding mitochondrial research and supporting patients 🙌🏼 #LilyRRD24 #RareDiseaseDay2024

So excited to have started my new job as a Research Manager for @4Lilyfoundation - it’s been my dream to work in mitochondrial research & I feel beyond lucky to be working with such an incredible charity to find hope for patients and families affected by mitochondrial disease 💖

Happy 30th Birthday to one of my favourite women in STEM and Freya’s favourite Auntie 🐾 😂 Sending ALL OF THE LOVE @xZoeAlicex ❤️

Was receiving messages from stressed PhD students so decided to share one of my favourite videos - the moment at the end of my viva where @pharma_john called me Dr for the first time. I promise this light is at the end of the dark, seemingly never-ending tunnel 😂

As of yesterday I can finally say I’m Dr Maria O’Hanlon PhD! Finally PhDone (pending minor amendments 🙈)! Thank you to Dr Ed Okello, @vikkirand and @pharma_john for being the most lovely viva examiners/chair - you made my viva such a positive experience and I’m so grateful ❤️

Omg my Freya says hi to your Freya!!
