YTS Introduction time: Tom Lewis! Tom Lewis is a #brain electrician 🧠⚡️ who compares the brain to a big #computer. Tom researches multiple sclerosis, but has always been interested in brain science. Now he even gets to recreate brain-cells using virtual reality! #ScienceWeek

Next is Tom! Tom is a second year PhD student in the MS Research Flagship at the Menzies Institute for Medical Research (Menzies Institute for Medical Research). His research focuses on understanding how neuronal communication is altered by the process of demyelination.

Looking forward to my data blitz on how demyelination alters dendritic spines and inhibitory interneurons in the mouse cortex at #ANS2022 🧠. Drop by poster #70 for more information 🔬 Australasian Neuroscience Society (ANS) Young Glial Research Team Menzies Institute for Medical Research #neuroscience

Had a great time seeing a lot of neuroscience and presenting my work on demyelination and synapses at #ANS2022 hosted by Australasian Neuroscience Society (ANS) with the rest of Young Glial Research Team as part of the #MultipleSclerosis research flagship Menzies Institute for Medical Research.Very much looking forward to future meetings 🧠

Introducing our chair for 2023! Alastair is a third year PhD student at the Menzies Institute for Medical Research. He researches the genetics of families with a high incidence of MS by using induced pluripotent stem cells and CRISPR edited mouse models.

Welcome to our deputy chair for 2023! Tom is a third year PhD student in the MS Research Flagship at the Menzies Institute for Medical Research (Menzies Institute for Medical Research). His research focuses on understanding how neuronal communication is altered by the process of demyelination.

Excited to present my work this afternoon on how demyelination changes how neurons talk to each other as part of Young Glial Research Team and Menzies Institute for Medical Research at the #ProgressiveMSAlliance congress hosted by the MS Int'l Federation

Had an amazing time presenting my work last night on how demyelination changes neuronal communication as part of Young Glial Research Team and Menzies Institute for Medical Research at the Dutch Neuroscience meeting #DNM23

We're recruiting! Interested in how #mitochondria and #astrocytes regulate neuroinflammatory responses during demyelination? Our group is looking for a PhD student: shorturl.at/firvM Project uses transgenic mice, confocal microscopy and transcriptomics. Get in touch!

Great to see Tram's paper online showing that rTMS increased interneuron activity following demyelination and increased remyelination by new and surviving oligodendrocytes. Thanks to coauthors including Carlie L Cullen , Alastair Fortune , Laura Reale , Tom Lewis .
