Dr Samantha Loveless
Research Technician, Division of Psychological Medicine and Clinical Neurosciences
Trosolwyg
My role as Research Technician involves coordinating the consent, collection, storage and allocation of neurology patient samples for the Welsh Neuroscience Research Tissue Bank. I also provide technical support for other members of the neurology research group and carry out studies into the possible roles of complement and identification of biomarkers in Multiple Sclerosis.
