Had the pleasure of presenting my PhD work on microglia modulation with ultrasound at the #CUREND workshop in Paris! 🇫🇷🧠🔉
Thank you to the organisers and the @UKDRI for this opportunity!
Our survey on the perception of the public and of patients on interventions for brain and mental health how now been published.
What technologies, from implants and drugs to noninvasive focused ultrasound are perceived as safe, effective, and preferred?

Amazing experience to present my PhD work at @ISTUorg in Taipei & meeting some of my ultrasound heroes! A huge thank you to my incredible supervisor @SophieMorse20 for this opportunity and to the generous support from the @imperialcollege & @Brain1878 awards 🧠 🔊🌟
One of my fave talks from the @alzheimerssoc ECR Retreat "Therapeutic Ultrasound to Modulate Glia" from @SophieMorse20
Sophie explains how Ultrasound can be used for imaging and therapeutic purposes, with the latter involving lower frequencies and focused sound waves. She discusses two main applications of ultrasound in Alzheimer's treatment. The first is using focused ultrasound technology to deliver drugs to the brain by temporarily opening the blood-brain barrier. This method is currently in clinical trials and has shown promising results in safety and efficacy. The second application is using ultrasound to stimulate the brain's immune response and interact with Glia, potentially helping to tackle different stages of Alzheimer's disease. Sophie also opens a discussion on ongoing research into using ultrasound to modulate inflammation in brain cells.
