Accepting PhD Students

PhD projects

After joining the University of Edinburgh, I have worked with Prof. Richard Morris for 5 years and later joined the lab or Prof. Tara Spires-Jones. My interests include memory and related molecular modifications at the synaptic level in health and neurodegeneration.
During my PhD, I developed potentiation reporters to map potentiated synapses in the brain during behavioural tasks. In Richatd Morris's lab, I developed the application of microendoscopic recording of calcium activity in the rat hippocampus to study the stability of memories. and how information is accessed during remembering and planning. In Spires-Jones's lab, I am applying my molecular and imaging expertise to elucidate the correlate of synaptic elimination or survival with their activity status during early neurodegenerative injuries.
