Meet Sam (Sam McCullough), one of our #PhD students interested in #inflammation around the blood vessels of the brain. His project aims to model this in vitro, to better understand the processes the occur in the #brain.

Anyone interested in different mechanisms of controlled drug release?

Meet SCIRF #PhD Student, Zahra (Zahra Laouby). With a passion for neuroimmunology, her work focuses on creating a window towards the #spinalcord using in vivo imaging techniques with a #miniscope and two-photon microscope to better understand #SCI and the impact of treatment.

Brain Awareness Month: Gisborne events.humanitix.com/bam-gisborne Dr Molly Swanson from MND lab at the Centre for Brain Research will be discussing her work with Dr Scotter which will contribute to our understanding of how microglia contribute to MND at different stages of the disease.

Does your lab research microglia? We are looking for more PIs to add to microglia.info/researchers so that other microglial researchers can find each other more easily! Send in your email and a short bio to the link here so that we can add you to the evergrowing list! 👨‍🔬👩‍🔬🧠

This is SCIRF postdoc Eliene Albers. Eliene is interested in the interaction between food, the gut and the brain. Together with PhD student Sam McCullough she works on a cell model to study the impact of #GutMetabolites and #Inflammation on the #BloodBrainBarrier.
