Alissa Plant
I am a PhD student primarily working with the plasticity lab better known as PLUG which is headed by Dr Cassandra Sampaio-Baptista. I will also be working with the Craig lab here in Glasgow University and with the Hawke lab in Lancaster University. During my project I will be exploring the relationship between myelin and Alzheimer’s pathology in Alzheimer’s mouse models. I joined Glasgow University in 2019 to complete my undergraduate degree in Neuroscience which I finished in 2023 and then went on to carry out an MSc in Brain Science. After finishing my MSc, I started my PhD through the North West Bio PhD program.
Outside of the lab I can usually be found cooking, going to concerts, playing games, hunting for trinkets in charity shops, or doing anything that involves building or making things.
