Biography
Philip Hasel completed his PhD in Giles Hardingham’s lab at the University of Edinburgh, exploring neuron-to-astrocyte signalling, before moving to New York for his postdoc at NYU. There, he worked with Prof Shane Liddelow to uncover new subtypes of healthy and reactive astrocytes. 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.
