Brain superheros return
Making new drugs is long, costly and complex, and is often a mystery to many people. Our laboratory is involved in the development of new drugs for brain related illnesses, including illnesses such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Multiple Sclerosis. Alongside our research, we conduct a number of outreach projects in the hope of connecting with young scientists, healthcare professionals and the general public.
In our previous Knowledge and Dissemination award from HRB, we ran three activities that included:
an Animation Competition asking for animation and science students to submit animations that described brain diseases; a Brain Superhero Competition asking school pupils to design a brain superhero; the Annual Meeting in Frontiers in Neurology that brought together academics, clinicians and pharma researchers interested in neurological diseases.
