Becky (Rebekah)

Becky is a research assistant and liaison officer working towards bridging the gap between our research and relevant clinical and commercial applications. She is a long-time Dehorter lab member, having done her honours and PhD with Nathalie back in The Australian National University, Canberra. There, her research involved investigating the auto-immune response to a-synuclein aggregates and its role in the development of Parkinson’s disease. Becky is an experienced neuroimmunologist, specialising in designing and executing behavioural paradigms in mice and histological techniques, and with a particular expertise is in correlating vast data arrays to elucidate highly meaningful trends in health and disease.

In her spare time, Becky loves video games, hiking, and spending time with her dog, Reggie.
