Meet Dr Mizuki Morisaki, University of St Andrews

Meet Dr Mizuki Morisaki, University of St Andrews

Last week we attended 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 Dr Mizuki Morisaki, Research Fellow at University of St Andrews (starting at University of Bristol soon). Mizuki recently finished her PhD focused on how “stress” affects ageing in the brain particularly in the hippocampus using in vitro/in vivo models. Mizuki worked with neurons on the dish as well as birds flying in the aviary! Now her research is more focusing on the in vitro model using neurons as well as microglia, and soon she will be getting hands on with human brain tissue in Bristol.

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