As well as producing lay summaries of complex research, Readable Research aims to demystify what happens inside our labs so you can understand more about our scientists, how they work, and why it matters.
Lab Lives
We speak to the scientists carrying out research in our labs to hear more about their lives, their stories & their work.
Marianne King, Postdoctoral Research Associate at the University of Sheffield’s SITraN, highlights her work to grow brain cells in a 3D environment to more closely replicate the human body, supporting research into MND. Watch >>
Charlotte Gale, PhD Student at the University of Sheffield’s SITraN, talks about her research into fruit fly cell structures, their degeneration and its impact on the development of MND in humans. Watch >>
Emily Mossman, Research Assistant at the University of Sheffield’s SITraN, talks about her support of research into Parkinson’s Disease and explains more about her studies of mitochondria in cells. Watch >>
Ben Hall, Postdoctoral Research Associate at the University of Sheffield’s SITraN, highlights his work on cellular metabolism and its impact on those living with MND. Watch >>
Katie Bowden, PhD Student at the University of Sheffield’s SITraN, highlights her work on MND and why ‘support’ cells in the brain become toxic in those living with the disease. Watch >>
Inside the Lab
Our scientists take us inside the lab to explain more about the work they do and talk us through some of their research and its potential impact.
