Member of the ERA-NET NEURON peer review panel for Transnational research projects on neurodevelopmental disorders 2021. Recent Esteem IndicatorsĮlected Council Member (2015) Research Officer (2016) and Fellow (2019) of the Anatomical Society.
In total I have supervised or co-supervised 17 PhD students to completion. Current Workġ) Development of the early fetal human forebrain including role of subplate, and interneuron specification.Ģ) Studying expression of neurodevelopmental disease susceptibility genes in the early fetal human thalamus and cerebral cortex.ģ) Exploring cortical interneuron function and mitochondrial deficits in mouse transgenic models of dementia.Ĥ) Understanding the plasticity of the sensorimotor system in response to lesions and ageing in animal models.ĥ) Effects of viruses on the brain (including vectors for optogenetic protein expression and coronaviruses) Postgraduate SupervisionĬurrently co-supervising five PhD students Maznah Alhesain, Bryony Elder, Bethany Dennis, Matthew Drummond and Ibtisam Al-Musawi. Four PhD students have recently successfully completed their studies: Reem Basuodan, Ayman Alzu'bi and Clare Tweedy in 2018 and Abdullah Ben Awad 2022. Molecular neuroanatomical approaches including neural tracing, immunohistochemistry and gene expression profiling.
Development, plasticity and repair of the nervous system, particularly the sensorimotor system.
