Neuroscientist from Caithness. Leading a research group at the University of Dundee, focusing on brain changes that occur in people with Motor Neuron Disease.
Little bit more information on the research we are doing... @UoDMedicine @dundeeuni @MNDScotland
It was nice to meet Graham and the other people with lived experience of MND, who came to hear about the research we (and others) are doing in Dundee. Thanks to @MNDScotland for organising the event and to @DrArpan100 @LeeanneMcgurk for their great talks @UoDMedicine @dundeeuni

Come and join the growing team of MND-focused researchers in Dundee! Arpan is doing some really cool stuff and this will be an exciting opportunity for a PDRA 😎 @mndassoc @MNDScotland @EdinUniNeuro @UoDMedicine
JOB ALERT! MND Accelerator Award funded postdoctoral position in my lab @mrcppu is now LIVE. We will use pooled CRISPR screening of iPSC motor neurons to identify new targets for ALS/MND. To learn more & apply: ppu.mrc.ac.uk/careers/recrui… Please help spread the word! Thank you.
New TDP-43 driven stress reporter models. Congrats to @FranInesta and @PhoebeMagdalena for leading this work! Thanks to @MNDScotland and @ARUKscientist for providing the initial pilot funds to make the project a reality. @UoDMedicine royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…
Happy to see this out today! @ChrisHenstridge @PhoebeMagdalena @MNDScotland @ARUKscientist New tool in #ALS/frontotemporal #dementia drug development: Novel in vivo TDP-43 stress reporter models to accelerate drug development in ALS | Open Biology royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…
Cutting human brain into 70nm thin sections, over 1000x thinner than a human hair. This allows us to view the brain in exquisit detail and see how it changes in conditions such as ALS and dementia. @UoDMedicine @alzheimerssoc @mndassoc @MNDScotland @ARUKscientist @dundeeuni
