About the Project
We use cell models of neurodevelopment and neurodegeneration to study the mechanisms that underpin diseases like schizophrenia and dementia. We are specifically interested in redox status and neuroinflammation in the progression of disease. This project would run along side work investigating the factors that perturb the amyloid processing pathway, and work investigating the role of neuroinflammation in neurodevelopment.
