Neurosurgical Tissue Sampling in Acute Brain Injury

Summary

This project follows on from MRC funded research (Cellular Neuroinflammation in Acute Brain Injury) to take micro-samples of brain tissue at the time of neurosurgery to elucidate the inflammatory cellular response to brain injury. This is a clinically led project, but includes tissue processing skills and single cell transcriptomics in collaboration with Prof Sawcer's lab.

Project aims

This project is designed to identify cellular targets for therapies in humans. Interested candidates should contact me by email.
