EASTBIO Transcriptomic signatures underlying neuroimaging white matter inflammation and abnormalities in the ageing brain at University of Edinburgh on FindAPhD.com PhD Project - EASTBIO Transcriptomic signatures underlying neuroimaging white matter inflammation and abnormalities in the ageing brain at University of Edinburgh, listed on FindAPhD.com

Exciting PhD opportunity in beautiful Edinburgh: discover how ageing and vascular dementia biology maps onto neuroimaging signals. Using cutting-edge spatial transcriptomics + a new TSPO PET ligand, this project probes the immune-vascular mechanisms driving white matter decline.

Canadian researchers should be aware the there is a motion before the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Science and Research to force Tricouncils to hand over disaggregated peer review data on all applications:
Applicant names, profiles, demographics
Reviewers names, profiles, comments, and scores

I hope this Nobel Prize gets people talking meaningfully about our amazing immune systems and the importance of basic research to human health (and funding basic research).

I am also glad young women get to see that women can not only work at this level, but that those who do can get recognized.

Canada plans a 15% budget cut. Scientists are alarmed Cuts could erase promised boost, researchers fear

I can save Carney heapsβ€”start with NFRF, CERC & the global innovation clusters.

DON’T touch tricouncil funding.
This would be the worst ROI & catastrophic for πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦β€™s research, innovation, training & economic development & growth.
