Meet Linda Kaupp, a visiting Master student coming from the Karolinska Instituet! She will be conducting her master's thesis at the Cragg Lab on the interaction between astrocytes, cholinergic interneurons and dopaminergic neurons.

It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of Dr. Richard Exley.

Richard was Steph Cragg's first postdoc, who is remembered as a brilliant scientist and a joyful colleague. Our thoughts are with his family and loved ones at this difficult time, and may his memory continue to inspire us all.

Welcome to the team, Mara Wuelfing!

Mara is completing her Biochemistry Part II Project in the Cragg Lab, where she will be investigating the source of tonic adenosine in the nucleus accumbens under the supervision of Kat Todd, an ASAP-funded postdoc.

#MeetOurTeam

Welcome to the team, Katherine Wang and Isabella Wijsmann!

Katherine joins as an MRC-funded Research Assistant and Isabella as a DPhil student at Cragg Lab, where they will be working on how novel glycine receptors shape #dopamine and #acetylcholine signalling in health and #PD.

🎉Congratulations Dr. Qinbo Qiao of the Cragg lab! 🎉

Your hard work has paid off, and Team Cragg is so proud of you. We can't wait to see where life takes you, and good luck at your new position in Shanghai!

We were thrilled to (mostly) meet in-person last week for the 3rd Annual Symposium of ASAP Collaboration for Team Cragg!

Thank you all for an inspiring meeting of science, sharing and #collaboration. We have built a great momentum, and we are ready for new discoveries in #Parkinsons research!

Congratulations to Shinil Raina, who left her position as a RA in the Cragg Lab to take up an MRC iCase funded DPhil position in the Yeo lab at University of Cambridge. We will miss you dearly and wish you the best of luck on your endeavours!

Who will win the best poster awards for our team now?

Team Cragg was out in full-force at the 2025 Oxford Parkinson's Research Day hosted by OPDC earlier this month!

📣 Shoutout to our presenters, Kaitlyn Cramb, Katherine Brimblecombe, Ollie Curry, Rasha Elghaba, and Camille Loiseau, for sharing their fantastic work with the PD community! 📣

🎉Many congratulations to Dr. Bethan O'Connor, and Dr. Lucille Duquenoy from the Cragg Lab who recently passed their DPhil Vivas 🎉

Your hard work and effort has paid off, and Team Cragg is proud of all you have accomplished!

Congratulations to Katherine Brimblecombe from Cragg Lab!

Her study on L-type calcium channels and striatal dopamine release (doi.org/10.1111/ejn....) is among the most widely read papers published by EJN in 2023!

A fantastic recognition of her work within the community!
