Dr Cohen started her working life as a research scientist and lecturer with over 100 peer-reviewed scientific publications.

She followed a classical scientific career until she left mainstream science in 2000 (which coincided with the birth of her first daughter) to establish the Life Science Communications company, Euroscicon Ltd.

Euroscicon Ltd was her first company (which she sold in 2016).

She also works with and establishes businesses and charities which benefit local, national and international communities.

In 2024 she was awarded a British Empire Medal for services to Women in Stem and to Cancer Patients and their families.

Current Projects

In 2013 Dr Cohen was diagnosed with Cancer and set up Cancer Care Parcel which provides appropriate gifts for people with cancer.

Dr Cohen is the lead scientific advisor at Optimised Healthcare. A medical profiling company which provides advanced disease prediction, prevention and wellness optimization services.

Dr Cohen started Mums in Science in 2005 after noticing a gap in the support for mums in STEM. This community platform for people in STEM provides support, information and tools to manage a career while navigating the challenges of life including parenting.
