[edit]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 British Columbia Children's Hospital, 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]
