Research Fellow at UK DRI UCL in the Bartels Lab. Focus on gut-brain axis and neuro-immune interaction in Parkinson’s disease. One-year post from May 2026.

Huntington's disease has been successfully treated for the first time, say doctors. The disease runs through families, relentlessly kills brain cells and resembles a combination of dementia, Parkinson's and motor neurone disease.
