Cambridge Neurochemistry

Another paper out by our Cambridge Neurochem group! This one by our PhD student Monica in Expert Reviews of Neuortherapeutics 😃

Metabolism and inflammation: implications for traumatic brain injury therapeutics (2019). Metabolism and inflammation: implications for traumatic brain injury therapeutics. Expert Review of Neurotherapeutics: Vol. 19, No. 3, pp. 227-242.

Congrats to the Dex-CSDH team publishing the pilot phase in !

Our developments on heparin-gold nanoparticles for improving recovery of proteins through microdialysis: https://t.co/rbdxE2ok8e

Heparin-gold nanoparticles for enhanced microdialysis sampling Cerebral microdialysis is a sampling technique which offers much potential for understanding inflammatory pathophysiology following traumatic brain injury (TBI). At present, the recovery of cytokines

Our lab has gained a new friend! Although he is fantastically cuddly and lovely, we feel he might be better off spending time with some sick little ones. Therefore he is up for adoption! Addenbrooke's Charitable Trust - Making a Difference for Patients - please get in touch if you could help us find him a home :)

Our new terrifyingly fragile electrode for measuring pH in teeny tiny brain microdialysis samples! A little ambitious for a Friday afternoon perhaps?!

A brilliant day of training on our brand new Seahorse analyser. Thank you Addenbrooke's Charitable Trust - we love it! Best looking instrument in the lab by far
