Dr Charlotte Boughton

Dr Charlotte Boughton is an Assistant Research Professor at the University of Cambridge and Diabetes Consultant at Cambridge University Hospitals and Royal Papworth Hospital. Her research focuses on the use of new technologies, in particular automated insulin delivery (closed-loop) systems to improve outcomes for people with diabetes. She undertakes randomised controlled trials to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a fully closed-loop approach for people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. She has also investigated the impact of hybrid closed-loop systems in children and adults with type 1 diabetes, and the role of ultra-rapid insulins to enhance performance of automated insulin delivery. She is Chief Investigator of an NIHR funded multicentre trial of closed-loop for people with cystic fibrosis related diabetes (CL4P-CF). Her Fellowship investigates the role of automated insulin delivery in achieving remission for adults with recent-onset type 2 diabetes.
