BBSRC Eastbio DTP. 2011 - 2016: MSci (Hons) Neuroscience, University of Glasgow. 2014 - 2015: Industrial placement student at Eli Lilly Pharmaceutical Company, Surrey, UK. June - August 2013: Wellcome Trust Summer Scholarship Student, University of Glasgow. Research My research focuses on investigating long range inputs to the medial and lateral entorhinal cortex in relation to associative memory encoding. I apply ex vivo slice electrophysiology and optogenetics, as well as anatomical tracing techniques and activity labelling. Recent publications Gerlei, K. Z., Brown, C. M., Sürmeli, G., Nolan, M. F.
