BNA Festival 2021 Roundup Dementia Researcher

    • Science

This week Professor Louise Serpell from University of Sussex talks to a great panel of early career researchers, discussing and sharing their highlights from this month’s British Neuroscience Association (BNA) Festival.

With our largest ever panel of scientists, with backgrounds are as varied as the topics they discuss. Everything from misfolding proteins, the latest thoughts on amyloid, thought processing and much more.

Our guests this week are:

Dr Lilya Andrianova, Postdoctoral Research Associate from the University of Glasgow. Lilya is researching neural circuits in health and disease.

Emily Beswick, PhD Student from The University of Edinburgh. Emily works in Clinical Trials in MND, wearable devices and extra-motor outcome measures.

Sarah Gregory, PhD Student from The University of Edinburgh. Sarah is studying the HPA axis in midlife and it’s association with dementia.

Silvia Anderle, PhD Student at University of Sussex. Silvia uses photon microscopy to investigate how different APOE alleles affect neurovascular coupling in targeted replacement APOE mice.

Dr Annika Boldt, Postdoctoral Fellow at University College London. Annika studies metacognition, such as confidence and error detection; cognitive offloading; (perceptual) decision making.
