The following projects are undertaken in the research area of Neuroscience
Reactive and regenerative alterations underlying the neuronal response (Doctorate)

Mature CNS neurons may attempt to regenerate following trauma.
Cytoskeletal reorganisation is crucial to neuronal recovery following
injury. I aim to characterise the reactive and regenerative cytoskeletal
alterations that underlie the neuronal response to injury. I will also
investigate agents that may prevent maladaptive attempts at regeneration.

a-, b-,and g-synuclein: developmental localisation and response to injury in neurons and glia. (Doctorate)
|
|
Supervisors:
James Vickers
| |
a-synuclein is a component of the pathological inclusions of many neurodegenerative diseases. They are abundant proteins found in the CNS, associated with synapse development and maintenance. I am investigating the developmental localisation of a-, b- and g-synuclein in primary cell cultures with various forms of cellular insult.
