I am a Research Fellow in the Bartels lab at the UK DRI at UCL working on gut-brain axis spreading of alpha-synuclein. I am in the final stages of PhD award in the Kramer lab at the University of Plymouth's Derriford Research Facility. My research here was focused upon the role of the E3 ubiquitin protein ligases Nedd4-1 and Nedd4-2 in the mouse dopaminergic midbrain and their crosstalk with alpha-synuclein. I was also the Alzheimer's Research UK early career research representative for the University of Plymouth.
