Jeryn is developing methodologies to help decipher the contribution of structural and functional changes in the brain to factors known to modify disease progression in patients with MND.
Jeryn completed her Masters at UQ in 2020. In 2021, she started her PhD, which sees her conducting collaborative research across the Faculty of Medicine and the AIBN. Her research project is focussed on combining advanced imaging of the brain with statistics to identify potential central drivers of altered metabolic dynamics in human MND.
