At this Lab Notes event we hear from researchers in our King’s
College London Research Network, with Alex Smith from Alzheimer’s Research UK chairing. The scientists take you behind the scenes in the research labs, showcasing the experiments they are doing to research the brain and how it is affected in dementia.
Dr Bea Gomez Perez-Nievas shares an overview of the key research progress made since Alzheimer’s was first described as a disease over 100 years ago.
Jodi Parslow showcases her experiments using fruit flies and cells in a dish, and how she measures changes in molecules and proteins.
Louisa Johnson demonstrates how she uses microscopes to visualise the tiny interactions between different brain cells.
Paula Beltran shows how she uses donated human brain tissue and the key insights this research is giving us.
