SCIENCE TEAM
Sibah Hasan
Senior Neuroscientist
Sibah graduated with a PhD in Life Science from the University of Lausanne, where he validated a new wake-promoting compound (FDA & EMA approved) using a pharmacogenomics approach. He has over 10 years of postdoctoral experience in Neuroscience research (Surrey and Oxford Universities) ranging from biomarker development (for Sleep and Circadian rhythms) to studying the effects of light in brain and behaviour. After finishing his postdoctoral research at the Department of Pharmacology (University of Oxford), working on septo-hippocampal oscillations, he joined Neuro-Bio as Senior Neuroscientist working on both biomarkers and therapeutic approaches to tackle neurodegeneration.
Anna Ashton
Postdoctoral Scientist
Anna has over ten years experience in research spanning pharmaceutical, biotech and academic labs. She graduated with a PhD in Medical Sciences from the University of Aberdeen, in which she studied the role of retinoic acid in the pineal gland. She then gained postdoctoral experience in the Clinical Neurosciences department at the University of Oxford, where she studied the molecular mechanisms of the circadian clock through genomic, proteomic and imaging approaches
Kashif Mahfooz
Postdoctoral Scientist
Kashif received his PhD in Neuroscience from the University of Navarra, Spain. His thesis was focussed on short term synaptic plasticity (STP) and epilepsy. In 2016, he joined Department of Pharmacology at the University of Oxford as a Postdoctoral research fellow. He has more than 14 years of experience in Neuroscience research with expertise in the field of neurodevelopmental disorders, cortical circuit formation and neurodegeneration. He joined Neuro-Bio as Senior Scientist and he is using optical and electrophysiological techniques to screen and identify lead compounds with potential for Alzheimer’s therapy.
Jack Gordon
Research Scientist
Jack is a third year DPhil student at the Department of Pharmacology, University of Oxford after graduating from the University of Sheffield with a BSc Hons in Biomedical Sciences in 2019. He has previously worked on projects studying motor neuron disease with cellular models and the epigenetic regulation of neurogenesis in the adult hippocampus. His current DPhil work is investigating the role of neural progenitor diversity in governing the formation of circuits in the striatum. He is looking forward to applying his scientific skills to neurodegenerative diseases and working on the exciting science at Neuro-Bio.
Joanna Komorowska
Student Scientist
Joanna is a third-year student of Neuroscience with Psychology at the University of Aberdeen, originally from Poland. She is interested in neurogenerative diseases and how they affect the human body and mind. For this reason, she is finding the opportunity to do her placement in Neuro-Bio very exciting. In her free time, she enjoys reading books and drawing. she is looking forward to her industrial placement as she believes it will broaden her mind, develop her as a person and a future scientist, and allow her to make new friends.
Sanskar Ranglani
Student Scientist
Sanskar Ranglani is a third year neuroscience undergraduate originally from India. His area of interest lies in novel pharmaceutical advancements in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, thus this opportunity at Neuro-Bio will allow him to gain nuanced understanding of the same and aid him in his career. He is greatly looking forward to his placement year to make new connections, learn and grow along the way while simultaneously prepare himself for a career in science.
Tom Seymour
Student Scientist
Tom is a second-year neuroscience student studying at the University of Exeter. He has a keen, long-standing interest in everything neuroscience – especially neurodegenerative diseases. He is really looking forward to getting to work in this field with Neuro-Bio, following their unique approach and having the opportunity to contribute to Alzheimer’s research.
Nathalia Mayag Medina
Student Scientist
Nathalia recently graduated in pharmacy at University of Barcelona. The Pharmaceutical Sciences degree is a 5-year programme during which she was able to join two projects. First, a directed project regarding amyloid aggregate dyes such as Congo red. Second, a thesis about antiviral’s synthesis at the department of Medicinal Chemistry at KU Leuven, Belgium, during the Erasmus + studies programme. Lastly, she spent one month in Seoul, South Korea, at Sookmyung Women’s University at a Plant metabolomics laboratory thanks to the pharmacy Student Exchange Programme (SEP). Nevertheless, her true passion is neuroscience, so she came to Neuro-Bio Ltd. to be able to study Alzheimer’s disease and contribute to this novel approach they present.
