Dr. Siobhan Crilly is currently a MEDTRAIN+ Marie Curie Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Galway and her interests lie in the development of non-animal model systems for neuroscience. Siobhan received her PhD from the University of Manchester in 2019 and since, was awarded funding from the NC3Rs to characterise a model of haemorrhagic stroke in zebrafish larvae and develop bioengineered material techniques for in vitro stroke modelling. Her current work in the CerebroMachines Lab at the University of Galway involves utilising the state-of-the-art technique of vascularising brain organoids to develop a model of haemorrhagic stroke.
