Janeen Laabei, B.A. (Mod), Trinity College Dublin I graduated with a first class honours physiology degree from Trinity College Dublin in 2019, and I am currently in the third year of my PhD research. I am particularly interested in microglial activation in the context of experimental TBI along with potential therapeutic interventions that target chronic neuroinflammation. |

Isabella Emediato, M.D., Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, Brazil I graduated as a Medical Doctor at the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais in Brazil (2008-2014) and completed my training in Anaesthesiology at the Hospital Júlia Kubitschek, Brazil (2015-2018). Since then, I have worked in all areas of Anaesthesiology, with a particular interest in Trauma Anaesthesia. I am interested in the systemic immune function following moderate-to-severe TBI and the chronic effects in the innate and adaptive immune responses leading to increased risk of infections in TBI patients. |

Sahil Threja, BS-MS (Biology Major), Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Mohali, India I completed my BS-MS dual degree from IISER Mohali, India in 2021, and then joined the Neurotrauma and Neuroimmunology lab at Trinity College Dublin. I was awarded an IRC Postgraduate Scholarship to carry out my doctoral research investigating the functional role of the immune system in TBI and associated neurodegenerative diseases. Outside of research, I like to play cricket, volleyball and love to cook different cuisines. |
