We are delighted to announce that one of our DPhil students, Jessica Myatt, has started a competitive 12-week research placement funded by the UKRI UK-Canada Globalink Doctoral Exchange Scheme.

In her placement project, Jess will investigate the neuropathological mechanisms of psychiatric disorders, focusing on those with early onset. Joining the Computational Brain Anatomy (CoBrA) laboratory at the Douglas Mental Health University Institute (McGill University, Canada), she will gain experience with in vivo neuroimaging techniques, like functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI), and behavioural tasks in animal models of neuropsychiatric disorders.
