Kleinenvice Rowe is an MRes Advanced Biological Science student within the School of Biological Sciences at the 黑料社.
I graduated from Cardiff University in July 2020 with a first-class BSc in Neuroscience. I completed my dissertation project in the field of neurodegeneration research, working with viral vector induced models of Parkinson鈥檚 disease to investigate neuroinflammation and microglial activation.
I have previously undertaken volunteering opportunites working in both clinical neuroscience positions and within the community, focusing on the field of neurodegeneration.
Why I chose MRes Advanced Biological Science
I chose to undertake an MRes in Advanced Biological Science as I am keen to advance my knowledge of neuroscience beyond undergraduate level, while working in a research lab setting.
黑料社ing at Southampton University will allow me to develop a number of practical skills as well as analytical, and statistical skills in order to prepare me for an exciting career in neuroscience research.
Aims for the future
I have a keen interest in the areas of neurodegenerative disease and neuroimmunology. I hope to work in this area and also gain skills in the area of statistics and bioinformatics. The title of the research project I will be working on during my time at Southampton is: 鈥淯nravelling the clonal nature of microglial diversity in the brain鈥.
