Meet Elizabeth English, University of Cambridge

Meet Elizabeth English, University of Cambridge

This week we've been attending the Alzheimer's Research UK Conference in Brighton. We took time out from the programme to talk with early career dementia researchers to ask them about their work, the challenges they have faced and how they overcame them, and to share a highlight from the conference.

In this short interview we talk with Elizabeth 'Lizzie' English, PhD Student at University of Cambridge. Lizzie is utilising biophysical methods to characterise protein aggregates and their toxicity mechanisms in neurodegenerative disease. In her work she is currently utilising post-mortem brain samples, but is keen to investigate clinical samples, like blood and saliva.

Find out more about Lizzie and her work on our website:
