My PhD explored hippocampal network dysfunction in models of alpha-synucleinopathy using electrophysiological and histochemical techniques. I then worked as a Research Fellow in Neuroscience exploring changes in cognition and anxiety during ageing. I have experience in models of disease, electrophysiology, immunohistochemistry, behaviour, and standard biomedical techniques. I am currently employed as a Teaching Fellow in Neuroscience with expertise in psychiatric and neurological disorders.
