Early life and education

Perry studied chemistry at the University of Oxford. She remained in Oxford for her doctoral research, supervised by Robert Williams where her research investigated silicification in biological systems.[2]

Research and career

Perry moved to St Hilda's College, Oxford as a junior research fellow. In 1987, she was appointed a lecturer at Brunel University. After six years at Brunel, Perry moved to Nottingham Trent University, where she worked as lecturer, reader and head of department. Perry spent parts of her career at Harvard University, University at Buffalo and the Weizmann Institute of Science.[6] Perry works on biomaterials, such as silk-silica and silk-calcium phosphate materials for bone repair.[7]

Perry has investigated biosilification and the role of silicon in bone health. In the poultry industry, the fast growth of chickens can give rise to skeletal issues.[8][9] She developed a silicon food supplement that could be used to boost the bone strength of chickens.[8][10] In 2014, Perry took part in the Royal Society pairing scheme, and job shadowed the politician Lilian Greenwood in the House of Commons.[11]
