Grant Richter is an early career postdoctoral research fellow at the Centre for MND Research at Macquarie University. His research focuses on characterizing pathological MND-related proteins in living cells and developing drugs to treat MND. He obtained his PhD from the University of Sydney, where he was trained as an electrophysiologist and animal surgeon, investigating rodent models of stroke. His dissertation, titled "GABA Drugs Motor Recovery Stroke," highlights crucial differences in drug efficacy between human clinical patients and mouse models of stroke. His electrophysiology work produced significant findings published in a Frontiers in Neuroscience article in 2020. In 2022, Dr. Richter was recruited to the Morsch Lab at Macquarie University, where he began using zebrafish as a model system and had been involved in master's studies at the Centre for Neuroregeneration at the University of Edinburgh. He excels in cutting-edge techniques such as live confocal microscopy of zebrafish motor neurons and advanced computer image analysis. Richter is actively pursuing multiple projects related to MND and continues to collaborate with researchers in various capacities.
