Early Career Researchers

Submission status
Closed
Our understanding of brain and nervous system function is constantly evolving, thanks in no small part to the innovative research and unique perspectives shared by early-career neuroscientists. This Collection of BMC Neuroscience aims to continue advancing our understanding of the field by highlighting and showcasing the work of early career researchers. All topics in neuroscience will be considered, from cellular and molecular neuroscience, to behavioral studies in humans and nonhuman animals.

    Kim Chisholm

    Dr Chisholm did her PhD at University College London, with Prof Kenneth Smith, in the field of neuroinflammation, developing ways to assess mitochondrial function in conditions of inflammation (systemic and local). She then moved to King’s and into the field of pain and sensation as a postdoc in the lab of the late Prof Stephen McMahon. Here she helped pioneer the use of in vivo microscopy as a way to assess changes in neuronal circuits during conditions of chronic pain. She has now set up a lab in the University of Nottingham focusing on spinal cord circuitry and its role in the development of persistent pain.

    After receiving a MSc in Bioengineering (SupAgro) and a MRes in Biomedical Research (Imperial College), Dr Finelli completed her DPhil in neurosciences at the University of Oxford. She did her postdoctoral training at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York and at the University of Oxford. Dr Finelli joined the University of Nottingham as an Anne McLaren Fellow in January 2020 where she started her independent research group. Dr Finelli was promoted to an Assistant Professor position in January 2023. More information on the Finelli group can be found at https://mattea-finelli-lab.com
