Rachel Gormal

Dr. Rachel Gormal is a Research Fellow at the Queensland Brain Institute, affiliated with the Faculty of Health, Medicine and Behavioural Sciences at The University of Queensland. She holds a Doctor of Philosophy from Griffith University and is available for supervision. Her research focuses on super-resolution microscopy techniques, nanobody applications in cell biology, and structural biology with in silico modeling.

Recent publications highlight her work on nanoscale protein clustering, synaptic vesicle recycling, and neurotoxin targeting mechanisms. Her studies explore the interplay between membrane trafficking, neurodegenerative disease proteins, and structural modeling using advanced imaging and computational tools.

She collaborates extensively with researchers like Prof. Frédéric A. Meunier on projects involving synaptic organization, neuroplasticity, and neurotoxin interactions. Her work has been published in high-impact journals such as Nature Protocols, The EMBO Journal, and Nature Communications.
