Research Lives: Dr Linda Katona, research fellow, University College Cork
I had come over to give a talk and I was impressed with the welcome from University College Cork, and how they have such
world leaders in the field of gut-bug research. I spoke with Prof John Cryan and I could see how my work and skills could really integrate well here, so I started in UCC last year at APC Microbiome Ireland and the Department of Anatomy and Neuroscience. We are looking at these connections between gut and brain, and also at what can become disrupted in these connections in schizophrenia, or where there is cognitive impairment or memory problems.So many things. I had a wonderful mentor in Oxford, the neurobiologist Prof Peter Somogyi. He really saw the spark in me.
I’m also grateful that Cork is such a good match for my ambitions, as it joins well with family wishes. And I’m thankful of course for the research funding from the Health Research Board, Science Foundation Ireland, the Irish Research Council, the EU and the Brain & Behavior Research Foundation in the US.Basketball is one of my big loves. I played competitively for many years. I’m not tall, but I am fast! I also love crosswords, there is always a book of them in my bag when I travel.
