Thesis title: Systematic evidence-based approach to identifying and tailoring inflammation modulating treatments for patients with intracerebral haemorrhage

Background

I hold a BSc in Neuroscience at the University of Manchester, where I explored the inflammatory effects of intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) on the spleen. Building on this foundation, I pursued an MRes in Brain Sciences at UCL, investigating how voltage-gated sodium channel populations change following NaV1.7 depletion in pain-free mouse models. Now, as an MRC-funded PhD candidate in Precision Medicine, I am developing Systematic Online Living Evidence Summary (SOLES) of ICH to identify evidence-based strategies for modulating post-ICH inflammation.
