A student in the Brain and Gender Lab, Hannah will attend the International Brain Research Organisation APRC Associate School of Neuroscience in Malaysia (August 8-14).
Hannah will also travel to Austria for the International Society for Neurochemistry- Journal of Neurochemistry Flagship School (September 12-18). Her expenses are covered by both of these schools.
Hannah’s research is examining the classic male testis gene, sex determining region Y (SRY) as a potential male susceptibility factor to Parkinson’s disease, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and other dopamine related disorders.
Hannah says she is excited to share her research and learn from her peers.
“As one of my PhD projects is to study Parkinson’s disease rodent models and to explore how SRY could be a male susceptibility factor for Parkinson’s disease, I am excited by the huge practical component during the IBRO-APRC Associate School of Neuroscience,” Hannah said.
“I expect that the knowledge I gain from this program will
help me better assess my current experimental models in Parkinson’s disease,
making them more relevant to potential clinical therapies.
“The insight and feedback I expect to receive from other attendees will be invaluable to my research, and add a dimension of expert independent opinion to my existing research.
“I expect this program to give me more confidence and comprehensive knowledge to carry out various experimental techniques,” she said.
Hannah is also confident that the ISN-JSC School will help to broaden her existing knowledge.
“My other
PhD project is studying the role of SRY underlying the male bias in ADHD,”
Hannah said.
“I was
attracted to the ISN-JNC Flagship School when I discovered that the topics
would include molecular and cell biology of areas such as critical periods and
developmental plasticity, motor learning and associative learning."
