The Synwave Podcast
Podcast Description
Brought to you by Synwave, a team of student researchers from the University of Glasgow competing in the annual International Genetically Engineered Machine Competition (iGEM). At Synwave, we aspire to develop a preventative diagnostic test for neuro-degenerative diseases like Alzheimer's. We aim to achieve this using synthetic biology. This podcast is our means to reach out to the global community to spread awareness of such diseases, to talk about our project and share stories from student and non-student researchers with hopes to inspire the next generation of thinkers.

Dr. Leonidas Chouliaras is a consultant of old age psychiatry in the EPUT NHS foundation and an assistant professor and researcher at the University of Cambridge. He is an active researcher, helping us understand the pathophysiology of neurodegenerative diseases. His research is focused on epigenetic mechanisms, blood biomarkers and neuroimaging in dementia, including Alzheimer’s.
Dr. Chouliaras’ research is very relevant to our project since he has worked with epigenetic profiling in brain tissue and in blood and has identified biomarkers that can help make the diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases earlier.
Listen to our conversation with him in this episode to find out more about his work, current research and his reflection upon his career path and advice for aspiring researchers.
