    Dr Hazel Hall-Roberts, Postdoctoral Researcher, University of Oxford (Now UK Dementia Research Institute, Cardiff University). I work on risk genes for Alzheimer's disease that are expressed highly in microglia, and I study them in a dish using human induced pluripotent stem cell models of microglia - @HazelLRoberts Dr Mark Dallas, Associate Professor Neuroscience, University of Reading. My work looks at non neuronal cells and their potential to combat Alzheimer's. Cellular work looking a ion channels on glial cells and changes in their function long before clinical presentation.
