Neuroscience
My summer 2023 research proposal
Hey everyone! This is my research project at the Neuroengineering Laboratory in EPFL :)
Special thanks to my supervisor Dr Durrieu and Professor Pavan Ramdya. If I had to summarize it in one question: Do drosophila play?
Take a look and if you have any questions, I'll be more than happy to answer!
Project Outline: Studying Changes in Astrocyte Function in Disease Pathology
I will be investigating the role of astrocytes, in the progression of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease. I am particularly interested in understanding how inflammation outside the brain can exacerbate inflammatory and damaging events within the brain.
