Beccy is awarded a fellowship by the MND Association

Huge congratulations to Beccy who has been awarded the Lady Edith Wolfson Non-Clinical Research Fellowship by the Motor Neurone Disease (MND) Association. This fellowship programme aims to attract and develop the careers of outstanding young Clinical and Non-Clinical researchers in order to create the future scientific leaders in the field of MND Research. Beccy plans to use super-resolution techniques to characterise the differences between protein aggregates in post-mortem ALS patient tissue. She will combine this information with knowledge of how the disease developed in each case, to identify disease-specific aggregate “strains”, and investigate their suitability as early prognostic markers. 

We are all very proud that Beccy has been awarded such a prestigious fellowship and it is testament to her hard work and scientific ability.

Part of our group visited Swansea for the British Biophysics Society Biennial Meeting 2024. Awesome science combined with a beautiful venue! We all really enjoyed hearing about all the advances in biophysics research being made in the UK (and abroad!). Looking forward to the 2026 meeting, and the poster flash talks as a new addition to the programme. Thanks to the Society for organising.

Mathew and Noelia attend the 6th Japan-UK Neuroscience Meeting in Awaji, Osaka

Image
Mathew and Noelia were recently invited to attend the Japan-UK neuroscience meeting being held in Osaka, Japan. The meeting, jointly funded by AMED and MRC, sought to strengthen connections between researchers in the UK and Japan. The meeting was a fantastic opportunity to share their research, and also learn about other work being conducted by neuroscientists in the two countries. Delegates were also treated to trip to a local castle, and were serenaded by talented singers in an impromptu Karaoke bar visit!
