Riley-Jonson Powell - Research student and interface between basic and clinical research

I am a BSc Biomedical Sciences (Biochemistry) student from Brunel University currently working on placement at the Prepared Minds Lab in QMUL.

I use Immunohistochemistry to help identify the areas of the brain that are involved in the predisposed processing of visual stimuli, Upwards vs. Downwards movement, in chicks by investigating Immediate Early Genes like c-Fos and pS6, that become active in specific areas as a response to the stimuli. 

In the future, I plan to join the NHS scientist training programme, where I would like to become a clinical scientist specialising in either Neurophysiology or Histopathology 

Beyond the research, I take part in Athletics, Rugby and currently learning Olympic weightlifting. I am also a big music nerd.
