معرفی
Dr. David Nagel is a Post Doc Research Fellow at Aston University's School of Biosciences, part of the College of Health and Life Sciences. He contributes to the iBrain project, focusing on neurobiology and bioengineering. His research centers on astrocyte signaling, neural networks derived from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), and engineered hydrogel scaffolds for in vitro neuroscience applications.
Education:
- PhD in Neuroscience (2003), supervised by Prof. A.V. Sutherland (Thesis: 'Development of the MAX randomisation technique').
Research Interests: Astrocyte biology, stem cell-derived neural networks, optogenetic engineering, hydrogel-based 3D cell culture systems, and tau protein biochemistry. His work bridges fundamental neuroscience with bioengineering innovations.
Articles Trends: Recent studies explore astrocyte roles in synaptic plasticity, iPSC-derived networks in hydrogel scaffolds, and optogenetic neuron engineering. Collaborations span neurobiology, materials science, and clinical applications.
Grants/Advising: Active in interdisciplinary projects like the iBrain initiative. No specific grants or advisees explicitly listed.
Labs/Teams: Engaged with the iBrain project team and collaborates with groups in neuroimaging, bioengineering, and stem cell research.
