I have recently started my PhD with the Neurosciences group at Biological Sciences.

I am supervised by Prof. Bruno Frenguelli and Dr. Magnus Richardson.

The advisory committee for this project is:

• Prof. Matt Keeling
• Dr. Yuriy Pankratov
• Dr. Yulia Timofeeva

As a member of the Systems Biology Doctoral Training Centre (DTC), I would like to thank both the EPSRC and BBSRC for my funding, as well as all those at the DTC, my supervisors and advisory committee for their support.

Of note:

• Won best presentation award at the 2009 Inter-DTC Conference, held at the Centre for Integrative Systems Biology, Manchester (18th-19th June 2009).

• Won best Ph.D. student talk at the 2009 Warwick Systems Biology DTC Annual Conference, Gradbach (13th-16th July 2009).
