Overview
Rachel Sellick is a PhD student on the SWBio Doctoral Training Partnership, funded by the BBSRC. The project is a collaboration between the Brain Repair Group and Fly Lab at Cardiff University, focusing on the use of Fly and mouse models of Huntington's Disease with an aim to understand protein-protein and genetic interactions of mutant Huntingtin-induced neurodegeneration.
