AMANDA LEWIS
Post-doctoral Scientist, EPFL
Australia, Switzerland
Amanda is a post-doctoral researcher, navigating the academic pathway to become a group leader in the field of neurodegeneration. Her research uses correlative light and electron microscopy on post-mortem human brain to understand the molecular mechanisms behind the formation of disease pathology.
Amanda hopes to use her participation in Homeward Bound to help redress the gender imbalance in the upper levels of science as, without strong female mentors, it is much harder to encourage and inspire women to stay in science.
