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.
Project Outline: Can we develop the value of struvite by utilising it as a source of ammonium and phosphate groups?
The scope of this research project is to investigate and identify a method to extract the ammonium and phosphate groups from struvite. The project would also explore economically viable pathways of implementation of the extraction method in existing wastewater treatment plants.
