Elin Alias

Research intern and operational support assistant

I am a 3rd-year Neuroscience student at Aston University, currently completing my placement at Ring20. My passion for understanding the complexities of the brain and neurological conditions led me to join Ring20, where I am eager to contribute to life changing research and awareness efforts surrounding rare epilepsies. Being part of this team will allow me to apply my academic knowledge to real-world challenges, in order to support the mission of improving the lives of those affected by the Ring 20 chromosome syndrome.
