4 Headlines Uncovering the secrets of neuroinflammation We are so excited to be bringing you this event later in October! To learn more about this event and to register please visit, neurological.org.nz/events or call our RSVP phoneline at 0508 272 467 ext 3. Dr Joanne Lin graduated from the University of Auckland with a Bachelor of Pharmacy (BPharm). She then completed a PhD investigating the effects of methamphetamine use on the human brain, and then went onto working as a community pharmacist until 2013. Joanne eventually took up a postdoctoral position in the Adult and Paediatric Pain Lab at Stanford University School of Medicine, researching the effects of recreational drug use on the brain with Associate Professor Jarred Younger. After some time, Joanne decided it was time to apply what she had learnt back in New Zealand, so she returned on a Neurological Foundation Repatriation Fellowship in 2018. Joanne is currently investigating magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques for measuring brain inflammation in human participants at the University of Auckland. Date: 22 October 2020 Time: 5.30pm – 7.30pm Location: Trustpower Arena (Suites 1 & 2), 81 Truman Lane, Mount Maunganui, Tauranga
