This week I am joined by Dr Ciaran Murphy-Royal, assistant professor in the department of neuroscience at the University of Montreal. He chats to me about growing up in Dublin, his undergraduate experiences at Trinity and making the move to France for his PhD.
We chat about moving to a different country and learning a new language all while doing a PhD, moving from France to Canada and his latest role as a new PI a the University of Montreal. Ciaran's research focuses on investigating the link between stress, astrocyte metabolism, and neuronal plasticity. He is interested in how early life adversary an impact and shape brain development long term and acute vs chronic stress.
Ciaran also discusses setting up his lab during the pandemic and how he's found the transition from postdoc to PI. Such an interesting chat, I hope you enjoy!
