Interested in a PhD in neuroscience? Keen to understand more about dopaminergic projections with relevance to #Parkison's ? We're looking for a motivated researcher to explore claustral function in the healthy and PD brain 👍 findaphd.com/phds/project/el…

Nerve nerds, wouldn’t it be great to have a biomarker for nerve injury. Like troponin or amylase but to assess axonopathy? This from @UCL_NerveEng @mattwilcox05 @PhillipsLab @PNIResearchUnit @hoopoe_swana may be an answer - our human trial is underway dx.doi.org/10.1111/jns.12576

Our latest paper out in @RSocPublishing Interface develops maths models and Bayesian inference with experimental data to compare the behaviour of different therapeutic cells for repairing nerves. Congrats to first author Maxime! @PhillipsLab royalsocietypublishing.org/d…

My first first-author review is out now! Here, we explore the potential of growth factor mimetics for the treatment of traumatic brain injury. Hugely grateful to @rachael_dickman for writing this with me and for her unwavering support! sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Excellent new review from @EmilyAAtkinson and @rachael_dickman
Very proud of this review I wrote with my very talented PhD student @EmilyAAtkinson! Just published in Bioorganic and Medicinal Chemistry. We think peptide mimetics should be used to treat traumatic brain injury - hopefully after reading you agree! doi.org/10.1016/j.bmc.2023.1…

We are very pleased to share our work on generating small molecule activators of PI3Ka, with preclinical proof-of-concept for utility in neuro-regeneration and cardioprotection, and a great new tool for studying #PI3K signalling. rdcu.be/dcUpi
