Lynette Grant Sadleir (born 1 August 1963) is a New Zealand paediatric neurologist and epileptologist, and a former synchronised swimmer and coach.
Biography
Born on 1 August 1963 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada,[1] Sadleir competed for New Zealand in synchronised swimming at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. With her sister Katie Sadleir, she finished 12th in the women's duet.
After retiring from competition, Sadleir was the synchronised swimming coach for the New Zealand teams at three Commonwealth Games: in 1986, 1990 and 1994.[2]
Academic career
Sadleir completed her medical degree at the University of Otago and also earned a Diploma in Paediatrics from the University of Auckland. Sadleir completed postdoctoral work at Children's Hospital in British Columbia, then joined the faculty of Otago. Sadleir is a paediatric neurologist and epileptologist, and was promoted to full professor in the Department of Paediatrics and Child Health at University of Otago, Wellington on 1 February 2019.[3][4] Sadleir's research focus is the genetics of families with paediatric epilepsy.[5]
