My PhD student Bali Lee takes us through some of our research into how microplastics might be contributing to inflammatory disease.

This video is a summary of my research into how diet might modify the inflammatory response in Alzheimer’s disease and how this could accelerate the disease.

A number FBMH academics and students played a central role in a high profile event which took place recently at the House of Lords. The event, arranged by the Division of Development and Alumni Relations (DDAR), brought together over 200 individuals in an effort to engage with a wider pool of alumni and friends and highlight a snapshot of exciting research and activity.

I spoke about the research he carries out with collaborators, Dr Catherine Lawrence and Dr David Brough, investigating the role of the inflammasome in Alzheimer’s disease and age related cognitive decline. Details of the event can be found here.

The organisers invited excellent speakers to tell their stories to inspire the next generation of thinkers. Speakers included Dame Prof. Nancy Rothwell and Chancellor Lemn Sissay. The title of my talk was: Usain Bolt shaves his legs.
