Short-term students
Students who joined the Row Fogo Centre Research as part of their final year study programme research projects.
At the Row Fogo Centre for Research into Ageing and the Brain, we aim to nurture a new generation of world-class researchers in the area of SVDs. Students are offered the experience to work as part of our professional research teams, and deliver results contributing to scientific discoveries as part of their Honours project, futher publishd in leading scientific journals.
