Make Science Your Superpower
Noted by the Researchers
Associate Professor at UW, Seattle, USA
During her PhD in the Department of Neurological Surgery at UW, Dr. Jura Lasas explored the complex dynamics of myelin in axons following spinal cord injury. As a postdoctoral researcher at the RIKEN Brain Science Institute, she conducted pivotal work on the protective role of the gene Neuregulin in ALS models. With deep expertise in brain science and clinical trials, I have great trust in her ability to gather, interpret, and clearly communicate high-quality scientific information, especially on topics as nuanced as menopause.
