Dr Cristina Legido-Quigley is a Reader at King's College London's Institute of Pharmaceutical Science and holds a joint appointment at Steno Diabetes Center Copenhagen. Dr Legido-Quigley's research focuses on neurometabolism and precision medicine, investigating how lipid metabolism influences brain health across aging, Alzheimer's disease, and metabolic disorders. Her work has identified critical mechanisms for cognitive health, liver damage, and cardiometabolic disease. She leads the development of clinical risk scores for precision diagnostics in cardiometabolic and neurodegenerative diseases. Since establishing her research group at King's College London in 2006, Dr Legido-Quigley has built an international research program spanning systems medicine, mass spectrometry lipidomics-metabolomics generation, and multi-omics integration. From 2018-2023, she served as Head of Systems Medicine at Steno Diabetes Center Copenhagen, where she established translational research platforms bridging molecular discoveries to clinical applications.
