Roslyn Bill: Understanding the brain’s plumbing system to develop medicines for brain health

In this episode we meet Professor Roslyn Bill. Ros is Co-Director of the Aston Institute for Membrane Excellence (AIME) and co-founder of Estuar Ltd, a spinout from Aston University developing therapies for traumatic brain injury and neurodegenerative disease. 

This episode is something a bit different. Instead of the founder journey, we focus on the science, the opportunity and the potential impact.

Ros is an exceptional communicator. Through her explanation of the brain as a plumbing system, complex science suddenly becomes simple and easy to understand. 

This episode is a masterclass in science communication, and more importantly offers a glimpse of a future where we might have treatments for two of the biggest brain health challenges we face today. 

This episode is essential listening for anyone interested in commercialising their research, especially those working in life sciences and health.
