About
I am an interdisciplinary scientist, interested in the mechanobiology of the brain, particularly in neurodegenerative diseases and traumatic brain injury.
I am currently a postdoc at the medical university at JGU-Mainz, working with Prof. Thomas Mittmann. I am now working to understand the role of mechanosensation following traumatic brain injury.
Background
I started my research career working on synaptic transmission in mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease, also investigating the glial response (2015-2017, UCL). For my PhD, I moved into the field of mechanobiology, looking at physical brain changes in healthy ageing and Alzheimer’s disease, using atomic force microscopy (2017-2021, UCL & University of Brighton).
