We welcome @MJKimSerena, to our group!
"For my DPhil project, I will study interactions between neurons, microglia and astrocytes in Parkinson’s using human stem cells.
At @UKDRI in UCL, I worked on how brain hyperactivity contributes to immune-driven synapse loss in AD.

I am motivated to understand how glial cells coordinate to maintain neuronal health and how their dysfunction contributes to neurodegeneration.
Outside of the lab, I enjoy ballet, working out, going to art museums and musicals."
