BBSRC injects £20 million into long-term discovery research BBSRC is backing four major research projects to help pioneer critical advances in healthy ageing, drug discovery and sustainable agriculture.

Excited to be part of one of the BBSRC larger and longer grants with such a great team. Healthy circadian aging is healthy brain aging… @imperialmed.bsky.social

hot off the press! this is the work of natalie ness and others in the lab. It turns out that rhythmic GABA produced by astrocytes act as a ”metronome” for the body clock. A pathway recently found to be altered in AD @ImperialBrains @UKDRI @ImperialMed
