MSc by Research: Caenorhabditis elegans: A genetic model to study anosmia, loss of olfaction, associated with Parkinson’s Disease

Parkinson’s Disease or PD is the second fastest growing neurodegenerative disease in the UK. PD is an age-associated disease characterized by tremors, change in gait, loss of appetite and loss or reduction in the sense of smell (anosmia). Read more

MSc by Research: Conserved function of gut microbiome in mouse, fruit fly and Caenorhabditis elegans

Gut microbiome is the community of microbes living together in the gastrointestinal tract of an animal. They provide specific functions to the animal host such as digestion of cellulose and protection from invading pathogens. Read more
