Insane in the membrane; insane in the brain! - an inaugural lecture by Professor Roslyn Bill

Insane in the membrane; insane in the brain!

Professor Roslyn Bill

LHS Associate Dean, Professor of Biotechnology

The lyrical title of Professor Roslyn Bill's inaugural lecture is a nod to the nineties, when she was a doctoral student. It aptly highlights two words: membrane and brain. One of her scientific passions is cell membranes, the structures that define cells and separate them from their surroundings. Professor Bill will tell you about one aspect of what they do, which is to control the flow of water into and out of cells. Following head trauma or stroke, that flow can lead to brain swelling and death. The lecture focuses on the longstanding work of Professor Roslyn Bill's collaborative team in developing molecular understanding in order to discover new treatments for brain swelling.
