📣#TellUsAboutYourResearch: Meet Sophie Debs Sophie Debs, a Ph.D Candidate at UNSW, Sydney! She studies sex steroid modulation of dopamine-related behaviour and molecules relevant to schizophrenia using the MIA model #MeetThePNIResearcher


🚨New paper alert 🚨 We show that infection during pregnancy and treatment with an estrogen-based compound (raloxifene) leads to sex-specific modulation of dopamine-related behaviour and gene expression in rat midbrain. doi.org/10.1016/j.bbi.…… Dr. Tertia Purves-Tyson Meyer Lab UZH


Join me, and some other passionate Scientists on the 15 May as we share our research with the community for the annual Pint of Science AU 2024 event!


Only two days until I speak alongside other scientists at the annual Pint of Science AU event! Get your tickets here: pintofscience.com.au/event/brains-b…



So fabulous to see this work, led by my always encouraging & supportive supervisor Dr. Tertia Purves-Tyson, now published. Our data is the first to suggest that stress signalling is altered in schizophrenia in a brain region not typically considered to be 'stress responsive' - the midbrain!


Preclinical Neuropsychiatry Laboratory and associates NeuRA (Neuroscience Research Australia) celebrating Sophie Debs PhD submission - CONGRATS. Lucky to have all these people associated with my team!


Collaboration & collegiality is key to good research! Expertise from Kristie Smith and Steve Kassem at NeuRA (Neuroscience Research Australia) and Teri Furlong from SBMS UNSW. Honours student Iveta Gavljak with microglia staining of brains from a preclinical study lead by Sophie Debs.


*taps mic* is there anyone still out there?! BIG NEWS! Thrilled to welcome our newest postdocs Dr Lydia Hardowar and soon-to-be Dr Sophie Debs, as well as Honours student Jooya Kalantar 👊 exciting times ahead! More about them/their projects here 👉 mindslaboratory.wordpress.com/team/


Absolutely thrilled to announce that I will be joining the mindsbehindtheMINDS Lab in October 24. Can't wait for this next chapter with Natalie Matosin 👩🏻🔬🧠

📸UPDATED LAB PHOTO📸 Thanks to Jooya and Lydia for braving the train to visit UOW! Keep an eye out though as this photo will only be short-lived! We are still looking forward to welcoming Sophie Debs into the lab real soon!! Big science (and new friend) things to come 🧠🔬👨💻


These guys and gals are my fave part of the job 👌 looking forward to getting the whole gang together with Dominic Kaul and Sophie Debs soon ✨

Happy first day Sophie Debs ☺️
