Synphane Gibbs-Shelton

As a third-year Ph.D. candidate in pharmacology specializing in the study of microglia's roles in various seizure models, I am deeply passionate about unraveling the complexities of the brain's immune system and its impact on neurological disorders. My research focuses on understanding the underlying mechanisms by which microglia contribute to seizures, with the ultimate goal of developing novel therapeutic strategies.

Beyond the laboratory, I am driven by a broader interest in science policy and biotech patent law. I aspire to leverage my scientific expertise to contribute to shaping evidence-based policies that promote innovation, improve public health, and foster collaboration between academia, industry, and government.
