In response to George Floyd’s horrific murder, the Black Lives Matter movement has grown and caught the attention of many. This time, really focused discussions are happening in regards to Black people’s economic power and the colonial structures that underpin practices and recruitment in significant sectors like Education; Television and Media etc. It’s important that we do not solely engage in discussion, but actively engage in facilitating and creating change.

We have invited three special guests, who will speak about their own experiences as Black people In the UK and they will share the ways that they are engaging with improving the experiences of Black people in their chosen field.

Our speakers will discuss the recent developments in India's agriculture sector, in the light of protests by farmers across India on the new agricultural bills. They will also speak about the impact of COVID-19 on agricultural markets, as well as the challenges looming ahead for farming in India given the adverse effects of climate change on crop yield, farm income and food prices.

My project aims to understand the role of specific genetic mutations in the function of spinal motor neurons in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis patients and to ultimately correct the dysfunctions induced by the mutations. To achieve this, I use stem cell technology to generate stem cells from patients' skin samples and drive their fate to become motor neurons in the dish. Once the stem cells become mature motor neurons, I study the essential functions that are disturbed by genetic mutations, such as intracellular transport and signalling. I also use genomic engineering (CRISPR/Cas) to correct these disease-causing mutations, allowing me to identify the exact pathways affected by the mutations, with the scope of testing drugs that correct these functions to improve neuronal health and delay degeneration in ALS.
