Postdoctoral Research Associate studying the neurophysiology of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis at Loughborough University | PhD in fatigue in multiple sclerosis | 🧠🧲💪🏼⚡️
My first paper from my PhD is out on preprint, looking at multiple sclerosis related fatigue 😴🧠💪

We used pre/post-exercise MR Spectroscopy to identify dysfunction in energy metabolism in a brain region linked to fatigue perception in pwMS.
