Coll Age

A COLL aboration between science and art on the subject of healthy AGE ing.

At the Soap Box Science event in Grantham I met Keith Bloody Mary an artist who has previously worked on Public Engagement projects with scientists. I really liked her work. Sometime in the middle of 2019 we applied for and got an award to collaborate on a project to engage the public on the subject of my research.
In October we held a small collage workshop to get an idea of how the collaging process works and to get the researchers together with the artist to develop some ideas.






The first event where we will be engaging with the 'real public' is coming up on the evening of the 31st January 2020. The artworks designed for the event will be up at The Hockley Arts Club in Nottingham from 5.30pm - come along and take a look!

Dr. Brad Ebanks - Graduation day!

  Well here we are...in some car park area outside the graduation hall. Just like Brad's PhD... starting in the year 2019/20... it's not ideal, but we made it work! Delighted to have been able to see Brad graduate and to meet his family yesterday! These occasions are the absolute highlight of my academic life - Thank you!

New research by a Nottingham academic linking the neurodegenerative disease Parkinson’s to changes in a protein in brain mitochondria is to receive support from a prestigious US funding agency. Dr Lisa Chakrabarti, at The University of Nottingham, will receive $75,000 for a one-year research project from The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research (MJFF), which is dedicated to finding a cure for Parkinson’s and funds promising research that could result in new treatments to slow, stop or reverse the progression of the disease. Dr Chakrabarti said: “We are trying to look at mitochondrial biology from a totally different perspective, which could have important implications for Parkinson’s and other neurodegenerative diseases. The funding from The Michael J. Fox Foundation will help us to confirm whether some of the protein changes we see in Parkinson’s are related to disease course.” http://exchange.nottingham.ac.uk/research/parkinsons-study-receives-fu
