Project Title: Investigating Transcription Factor's associated with Alzheimer's in Microglia
Supervisor: Dr Nathan Skene, Dr Mikhail Spivakov
Location: Level 7, Sir Michael Uren Hub, White City Campus, 86 Wood Lane, W12 0BZ
About Me
I am a PhD student in the Skene laboratory in the Department of Brain Sciences within the UK Dementia Research Institute centre at Imperial College London, within. My project is focussed on investigating transcription factor's associated with Alzheimer's in microglia, using SLDP.
Beyond my experience with AI and enthusiasm for the way computer science makes you think, I have always found biology fascinating, especially genetics. This opportunity in Nathan’s lab to work on a problem so close to my heart, leveraging tools I love, in a field I enjoy learning about, is a real privilege. I hope to be able to contribute meaningfully to the goal of curing Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases!
Outside of work, I enjoy tinkering with AI models/agents and other computational projects, alongside boxing and other sports.
