      I love neuroscience, neuro-psychology, and behaviour

      My favourites are Neuroscience and Physiology. I really like brains and looking at how they process and integrate all of the information they receive. I also like physiology, which is the science that studies how everything is supposed to work in the body. That includes everything, from how your heart pumps blood and the pressure required to make everything flow smoothly, to the physics and mechanics of how your limbs are capable of movement.

      Neuroscience and neuropsychology are my fields of interest, there’s so much we don’t know and so many interesting things to discover!

      My favorite thing to study is health behaviour and how we can improve the health of populations by answering important questions and creating good policy.

      Clinical neuropsychology is my forever favourite – understanding how the brain responds to injury has always been so interesting to me!

      I’m a bit of a philosopher at heart, so I love to study the fundamental questions of biology. How is your DNA read? How are cells built? How can your tissues and cells keep track of the time of day? And how do all these processes evolve?

      I also like to take things apart to see how they work (I broke lots of pens in school…), so molecular biology and electron microscopy are perfect for me. πŸ™‚

      I love researching how different medicines impact humans, so pharmacology is my favourite! I find it really interesting how such tiny molecules can have such a huge effect on our health.

      Being a doctor and medical researcher – I really love learning and studying about how to make people feel better.

      I work in an area called clinical trials – where we look at new treatments to get people better from medical problems πŸ©ΊπŸ’Š I work on trials that hope to treat each person as an individual, and show that different treatments may be better for different people

      I love studying how infectious diseases spread between people and trying to find the best ways to stop them spreading. I am particularly interested in how the way people interact or ‘mix’ with each other affects how diseases spread.

      I loved Biology at school, and now I would say molecular biology focusing mainly on the brain.

      My fav science is when I use maths in ways other people might not expect! Did you know that you can use maths to learn about asthma, cancer and the brain?

      When I’m not being a scientist, I am also a paediatrician (children’s doctor) – I kinda do two jobs at the same time. So my favourite research is about things that might have a direct impact on the children I look after in the hospital. For example at the moment I am looking at why some children get arthritis (sore bones and joints) and some don’t, because this might help me treat my patients more effectively.

      I am fascinated by the immune system (study name = immunology) already since I learned in detail about it in my second year at university. I am particularly interested in studying how immune cells can develop into cancer cells (called lymphoma or leukaemia), and how we can activate the immune system to fight cancer. This research subject is called tumour immunology.

      Anything biology or chemistry related

      I love studying anything that has to do with the brain and the mind, because it tells us so much of who we are and how we behave and why we do the things we do

      Anything that involves molecular or cell biology. I love how it all comes together to work. But I also love learning about stem cells, the brain and also astronomy. You can tell I just like learning things πŸ˜›
