Excited to share that my postdoc work is now on bioRxiv! We identify a role for spinal-projecting serotonergic neurons in control of locomotor behavior. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Very excited to receive funding from @TargetALS_fdn for our international consortia between @SinaiBrain , @UCLIoN and @UKDRI at Edinburgh. @RickiePatani, @HaselPhilip , Andrea Malaspina, really looking forward to working with you all!

Want to learn more about #astrocyte diversity across #mammals beyond Rodents and Primates? My student and I dug the literature to find out what is known about astrocytes in non-rodent and non-primate species, I hope you will enjoy our review! 🤩👇👇👇 karger.com/bbe/article-ab…
🧠 Blood flow & immune response are key to understanding dementia. The @alzheimerssoc funded VIDA DTC unites 4 UK institutions to train future leaders tackling these challenges. 9 PhD's available, 14 projects to choose from. Apply by 20 Dec dementiaresearcher.nihr.ac.uk/phd-studentshi…
PhD opportunity: If you're interested in how astrocytes and the meninges talk to each other and how this is affected in dementia come do your PhD with us in Edinburgh (cc: @Horsburgh_Lab and Ingo Schiessl)! findaphd.com/phds/project/v…
We're in Harrogate this week for our annual conference, Connectome!👏 🎉 🥳 Excited to welcome researchers from across our national institute for a jam packed programme of inspiring science and networking. Stay tuned for updates! #Connectome2024
Probably my favorite spatial transcriptomics artefact (here VisiumHD) is the choroid plexus (Ttr) being smeared across the brain. Does this happen with other 'flimsy' structures like the meninges?

Just 30 minutes away! So excited to finally get to share this work with a broader audience.
