    Athena Bratopoulou, an undergraduate Neuroscience student at the University of Dundee, interviews Dr Zsófia László, an MNDA Junior Fellow. They discuss Dr László's journey into the field of Motor Neuron Disease (MND) research, her work on synaptic connections, and the crucial role of glial cells in neurodegeneration. The conversation highlights the challenges and triumphs of scientific research, the importance of a supportive research environment and the connecting with people living with the disease, and the hope for new treatments for MND. This blog provides a personal and professional glimpse into the lives of researchers dedicated to understanding and combating MND.

    Athena Bratopoulou is currently I am doing an internship in the Henstridge Lab at the School of Medicine, University of Dundee, which is centred around synaptoneurosomes in health and in ALS. Athena moved from Greece with her heart set on studying the brain, with a firm belief that it is the single most fascinating thing!

    Dr Zsofia Laszlo from the School of Medicine, University of Dundee and Euan MacDonald Centre. Zsofia moved to Scotland in October 2020, after finishing her PhD at the Institute of Experimental Medicine in Budapest, Hungary. She joined the laboratory of Euan MacDonald Centre member Dr Chris Henstridge to investigate the mechanisms behind the loss of connection (synapses) between brain cells in MND.
