Lisa's Lab Book

                                Brad Ebanks - BBSRC DTP Scholar I graduated from the University of Nottingham with a Biochemistry and Biological Chemistry degree in 2019. I then started my BBSRC DTP funded PhD in Lisa’s lab in September of the same year, after having a really positive experience here as a summer project student in 2018. My project is largely focussed on the role of mitochondrial haemoglobin, trying to characterise its structural and functional interactions, as well as understanding how those interactions change in the ageing process. Outside of the lab my two biggest interests are reading and travelling, and in between those two things and my research, I’m a very amateur cook.

  Zubair Nizamudeen - Postdoctoral Fellow I was born and raised in Dubai, U.A.E, moved to Nottingham, UK in 2014.  I am interested in neuroscience, stem cell biology and extracellular vesicles. I also develop new biomedical imaging approaches to study subcellular biochemical events. My current project focuses in investigating mitochondrial dysfunctions in neurological disorders such as Ataxia, using high resolution respirometry. My hobbies include sports such as badminton, cricket, table tennis and squash.

                                 Nial O'Boyle -BBSRC DTP Scholar I’m from Northern Ireland and grew up on a mixed livestock farm. Qualified as a vet around 20 years ago and I’ve spent 10 years working in the UK, mainly dairy practice, and also spent 10 years in the USA, managing large dairy farms and beef feedlots. I’m interested in learning more about metabolic physiology in the dairy cow. My interests have transitioned to keeping up with the interests of my 4 kids, which range from Anime to football. I have retired from most team sports now, but reluctantly train for the odd marathon.
