We are delighted to welcome Naomi Berry back to the Unit as a MRC-funded D.Phil. student in the Sharott Group.

After graduating from University College London in 2013 with a B.Sc. in Biomedical Sciences, Naomi worked in London and then in the Unit as a Research Technician, providing support for a variety of neuroscience projects. Naomi’s thesis research will be supervised by Dr Andrew Sharott, and will use a combination of electrophysiological and anatomical techniques to define the roles played by different types of motor cortical neuron in the generation of pathological oscillations in Parkinson’s disease.
