Charlotte Foote joining our team as a Junior Scientist Charlotte recently graduated from the University of Exeter with a degree in Neuroscience where she completed her dissertation analysing hippocampal network activity in a transchromosomic mouse model of Down syndrome. She investigated whether signatures of electrical neuronal network activity in the dentate gyrus, which is vulnerable to malfunction caused by trisomy 21, are disrupted in different behavioural states. Alongside her degree, she independently completed courses in Machine Learning and Computational Neuroscience which developed her knowledge of the processing required in neural networks. Charlotte is pleased to be joining Neuro-Bio for a 10-week internship to contribute to the development of a therapeutic for Alzheimer’s Disease.

Marta Perez Gonzalez joining our team at NeuroBio as a Senior Scientist Marta received a BSc in Biotechnology from the University of Oviedo in 2014. After that, she got a MSc in Biomedical Research and a PhD in Neuroscience and Cognition at the University of Navarra. During her time in Navarra, Marta identified and validated a novel therapeutic strategy for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and tested the efficacy of different small molecules for AD treatment. She then moved to University College London to work as postdoctoral research fellow, first in the department of Clinical and Experimental Epilepsy and lately in the department of Neuromuscular Disorders where she worked on Down syndrome. Marta’s expertise includes cellular, molecular and behavioural biology. She joined Neuro-Bio as Senior Scientist.

Neuro-Bio featured in the UK Ageing Network (UKAN) Newsletter – July 2024 The UK Ageing Network (UKAN) is made up of 11 interdisciplinary ageing research networks, bringing together researchers and stakeholders from different disciplines to better understand the biological mechanisms of ageing and their impact on human health. https://lnkd.in/db_XEJX

Neuro-Bio welcomes students from City of Oxford College Neuro-Bio welcomed a group of 10 students from the City of Oxford College on Wednesday 26th June, who are studying the programmes of Forensic Science and the Applied Science. The students were introduced to Neuro-Bio’ science by Professor Susan Greenfield and visited the labs where they had the opportunity to meet the scientific team and to understand how a biotech company works. Their Group Director of Academic Studies, Hannah O’Neill, shared the following feedback: “Students found the research exciting and enjoyed hearing about different techniques and industrial applications of their studies in college. All the students were very grateful for the opportunity. Many students were motivated to pursue internship to gain work experience following the visit too, which is exactly what we hoped to achieve.” We will be welcoming more students from City of Oxford College in the new academic year.

On the 19th of June Baroness Greenfield gave an inspirational talk at the Early Career Researcher Retreat on the progress being made at Neuro-Bio on how to combat and diagnose this more and more common disease. Research is what is needed to understand how, when and where our brains succumb to this so far unchallenged disease.

Neuro-Bio is a finalist at the Thames Valley Tech & Innovation Awards 2024! We are extremely excited and proud to be a finalist at the Thames Valley Tech & Innovation Awards this year. The category we are up for is: “Life Sciences & Health Tech Company of the Year” This shows how much hard work and effort the whole team has put in to researching how to combat this dreadful disease.

It's Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness Month. Let's continue to raise awareness and support those who are affected by Alzheimer's Disease and other devastating brain disorders. There are over 55 million people worldwide living with this cruel disease, and this is expected to increase! We need to continue to educate ourselves and our communities about the signs, symptoms, and impact of these diseases to promote early detection and intervention. Here are just some of the things to look out for: - Memory loss that disrupts daily life: forgetting events, repeating yourself or relying on more aids to help you remember (like sticky notes or reminders). - Challenges in planning or solving problems: having trouble paying bills or cooking recipes you have used for years. - Difficulty completing familiar tasks at home, at work, or at leisure: having problems with cooking, driving places, using a cell phone or shopping. - Confusion with time or place: having trouble understanding an event that is happening later or losing track of dates. - Trouble understanding visual images and spatial relations: having more difficulty with balance or judging distance, tripping over things at home, or spilling or dropping things more often.

I'm excited to share my 2 episodes which were kindly captured by NeuRA (Neuroscience Research Australia) during my stay in Sydney. I presented a talk to a live audience "Can Science be Creative?" as well as a more personal discussion with Carole Renouf (Executive Director) on my journey to Neuroscience.
