Anezka Macey-Dare visits to experience applied neuroscience research

Miss Anezka Macey-Dare

This week, members of the Magill Group were playing hosts to Anezka Macey-Dare, who is currently studying for her A-Levels at Headington School, Oxford. Anezka has a keen interest in biomedical sciences and neurology, and following a recent visit of Unit scientists to her school, came to the Unit to learn more about the practical side of neuroscience research in a real working lab. During Anezka’s visit, she viewed several stages of a typical experiment in the lab, and received training in neuroscience concepts. Anezka also gained ‘hands on’ experience with some anatomical and molecular approaches to studying brain function. The results from Anezka’s immunofluorescence labelling experiments were excellent!
