Jacqueline Berry

I am a Senior Research Fellow in the Vitamin D Research Laboratories at the University of Manchester. I started my career as a Pharmacologist gaining a BSc from Leeds University (1972), followed by an MSc (1974) and PhD (1977) from the University of Manchester. Following a short period in the Department of Surgery I moved to the Department of Medicine to work with Professor Barbara Mawer in 1979. This started my lifelong interest in metabolic bone disease with in particular vitamin D and assay methodology.

In the early 1980s I developed an improved assay for measurement of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25D) using a monoclonal antibody, and this is still in use today. Since 1994 I have been Deputy Director of the only Supraregional Assay Service for the combined assay of 25-hydroxyvitamin D with 1,25D in England and Wales, for which I gained ISO accreditation.

I am a member of the Advisory Board of The Vitamin D External Quality Assessment Scheme (DEQAS). Current research sponsored by Cancer Research UK and Food Standards Agency examines the relative contributions of diet and UV exposure to vitamin D “sufficiency” in the British population. I am member of BRS, IBMS, ECTS, ASBMR, ACB and BPS.
