"We’re interested in how astrocyte subtypes contribute to brain function and dysfunction. In particular, we’re interested in the subtypes of astrocytes that make up borders of the central nervous system and the roles they play as gatekeepers and targets in neurodegeneration and neuroinflammation. " Philip Hasel
UK DRI Group Leader
Philip Hasel completed his PhD in Giles Hardingham’s lab at the University of Edinburgh before moving to New York for his postdoc at NYU in Shane Liddelow’s lab. He is now a Group Leader and Wellcome Trust Career Development Fellow at the UK DRI at Edinburgh. Philip’s group works on astrocyte subtypes and their contribution to brain function and dysfunction. The lab is applying a mix of computational and wet lab approaches to study the role of astrocytes at the borders of the central nervous system.
