Hello, I'm Ryan Murray, a medical student at the University of Aberdeen with an Honours degree in Biomedical Sciences. My academic background includes research in proteomics and neurodegeneration, and I'm preparing to begin an intercalated PhD exploring mitochondrial dysfunction in ALS. Alongside my studies, I'm training as a Reserve Army Officer, where I’ve developed strong leadership and communication skills that I bring into my teaching. I’ve taught students in both academic and mentoring settings, and I focus on making neuroscience engaging, relatable, and clear — helping learners not just memorise facts, but truly understand how the brain shapes who we are.
