Professor Edwards is the recipient of multiple awards and fellowships, including most recently, the Iain T. Boyle Award from the European Calcified Tissue Society.

Professor Edwards relocated her lab to the University of Oxford in 2010 as a University Lecturer in Bone Oncology, with a joint appointment in the Nuffield Department of Surgical Sciences (NDS) and the Nuffield Department of Orthopaedics, Rheumatology and Musculoskeletal Sciences (NDORMS), and a fellowship at St. Edmund Hall.

Research interests are focused upon the pathogenesis of cancer-induced bone disease, including the contributions of the host bone marrow microenvironment and the role of obesity, adipocytes and adipokines.
