Fellowship to Jose Prius Mengual paves the way to new genetic therapy for epilepsy
22 May 2023
Congratulations are in order to Dr Jose Prius Mengual who has been awarded an Emerging Leader Fellowship Award from Epilepsy Research UK and the Nucleic Acid Therapy Accelerator (NATA). With this award, Dr Mengual will develop a new genetic therapy to rebalance protein levels in the neurons affected by epilepsy to prevent seizures.
Fellowship to Hugo Fernandes paves the way to improved treatment options for dementia
4 May 2023
Congratulations are in order to Dr Hugo Fernandes who has been awarded a sought after Alzheimer’s Society Dementia Research Leader Fellowship. With this award, Dr Fernandes will reveal the role of dysfunctional lipid metabolism in dementia using innovative self-designed tools and models to identify new therapeutic targets.
Researchers discover why multisensory learning is beneficial for memory
26 April 2023
New research published in Nature, led by researchers Dr Zeynep Okray, Dr Pedro Jacob and Professor Scott Waddell at the Centre for Neural Circuits and Behaviour, has discovered a detailed neural circuit mechanism that explains how multisensory learning improves memory performance.
