Chuffed to announce I am one of the new RAD/ARUK fellows starting in 2026. Looking forward to exploring mechanisms of hyperactivity in Alzheimer’s disease using functional and AI based approaches.
Chuffed to have been awarded this! Privileged to be doing what I do, with the people that support me. :)

Know your imposter moments:
- Your first lecture
- A new role
- Writing
- When you make a mistoke
These might make you feel like an imposter but they don't mean you are one.

super excited to release this. nearly 7 years ago, we set out to investigate whether FMRP regulates excitability of neurons in living human brain tissue. we find loss of FMRP in adult neurons leads to elevated excitability, corrected by PDE4D inhibition.
