Hi Twitterverse, I am a developmental neuroscientist, and microglia lover, determined to find a way to repair brain damage in newborn babies working in the ace @NeurodevHD program @ResearchRMIT @pintofscienceau #ThisIsMyScience #OurBody https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S088915911300127X?via%3Dihub1/5

I helped lead the design of an amazing nanoparticle therapy that loves finding its way to microglia – the coolest glia. The 3DNA nanoparticles made by @Gensiphere can deliver therapies to reduce brain injury – exciting stuff!!

I also study cell death after hypoxia/ischemia and testing ways to improve outcome after injury – repurposing drugs where we can to try and get help to where it is needed quickly. #ThisIsMyScience

My work gives me the privilege to collaborate with extraordinary people, like @MironLab, @JamesPeterBoar2 on studies that join the dots between human disorders and animal models.
