Current summer students
Summer Student 2019: Abigail Wright
Abigail will develop and validate an all-human model of Parkinson’s disease to replace experiments on mice, rats, dogs and monkeys.
Summer Student 2019: Dylan McClurg
Dylan will develop an animal-free model to investigate how breast cancer can spread throughout the body and help to replace experiments on mice.
Summer Student 2019: Faris Osman
Faris will develop a novel detection method to replace antibodies in the diagnostic testing of HIV and help replace experiments on millions of animals worldwide – including hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, goats, sheep, horses, mice and rats.
Summer Student 2019: Intisar Salah
Intisar will develop a non-invasive tool for detecting, monitoring and treating cancer, to help replace experiments on mice and other animals worldwide used to produce antibodies.
Summer Student 2019: James Philpott
James will develop a computational model to predict the psychoactivity of molecules affecting the central nervous system and help replace experiments on mice, rats, cats and monkeys.
Summer Student 2019: Josan Gandawijaya
Josan will edit human cells to understand the role of genes in autism and 3p deletion syndrome to help replace experiments on mice and rats.
Summer Student 2019: Katherine Bexley
Katherine will use human skin to investigate if she can speed up and improve the repair of human skin wounds and help replace experiments on mice and pigs in skin research.
Summer Student 2019: Kathryn Bailey
Kathryn will produce synthetic compounds to monitor microbial infections and Alzheimer’s disease and help replace experiments on millions of animals worldwide – including hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, goats, sheep, horses, mice and rats.
Summer Student 2019: Keerthana Sasitharan
Keerthana will use artificial intelligence and human tumour samples to predict if oral cancer will spread, and to help replace experiments on mice.
Summer Student 2019: Nilab Haydare
Nilab will develop an animal-free model of the human eye to research inflammation and infection of the eye and help replace experiments on rabbits.
Summer Student 2019: Samantha Lindsay
Samantha will develop a human skin-wound and infection model to help replace experiments on pigs, mice and rats in skin disease research.
Summer Student 2019: Zachary McNeill
Zachary will use non-invasive methods on human participants to improve the function of prosthetic hands and help replace invasive experiments on cats, dogs and rats.
Summer Student: Deyna Jenkins
Deyna will develop an animal free 3D cell model of human muscle contraction to help replace experiments on mice and rats in exercise related diseases, such as type 2 diabetes, obesity and heart disease.
