ANRI Students
Amanda Meade, PhD Student, Stroke Research Group
Project: In vitro assessment of neuroprotective activity of c-Jun inhibitory peptides. Amanda is in the final stages of her PhD project, which involves the characterisation of the neuroprotective potential of several peptides that inhibit c-jun activation. She has assessed the neuroprotective activity of the peptides in various in vitro neuronal…
Bernadette Majda, PhD Student, Stroke Research Group
Project: Characterisation of a novel gene expressed in the brain following cerebral ischaemia. Bernadette has demonstrated altered expression of several genes following cerebral ischaemia in the rat. One of the genes differentially expressed is a novel gene (NP1), not previously characterised. Bernadette has cloned the gene and constructed an adenoviral…
Jane Cross, PhD Student, Stroke Research Group
Project: The Role of the Sodium Calcium Exchanger (NCX) in Response to Cerebral Ischaemia. Jane aims to characterise the role of the sodium calcium exchanger (NCX) following cerebral ischaemia using in vitro and in vivo stroke models, and to identify specific peptide NCX inhibitors and activators. The exchanger’s main function…
Jane Dundas, PhD Student, Brain Research Group
Project: The effects on motor function & cognition following transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). Jane is exploring a brain stimulation technique known as transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). She has examined the effects of tDCS on brain excitability, motor reaction time and accuracy, handedness and implicit memory. Jane is supported…
JingShan Wu, PhD Student, Clinical Research Group
Project: The spectrum of demyelinating disease and its associated immunogenetic characteristics in Western Australia. JingShan is studying Multiple Sclerosis (MS) from genotype to phenotype in Australia. The genetic susceptibility to MS is predominantly determined by human leukocyte antigen (HLA) DRB1 gene. She has so far completed HLA DRB1 typing on…
