Tomi Akingbade is a PhD student at the University of Cambridge investigating inflammation in neurodegenerative diseases. Specifically, Tomi is investigating how Amyloid-beta 42 (Aβ42) aggregates cause inflammatory responses in Alzheimer’s Disease and how the prepararation of synthetic Aβ42 aggregates can be used as stimulants in in vitro inflammatory studies. Tomi is also passionate about representation within academia, this led her to create the Black Women in Science (BWiS) Network. The Network started as a social media account, became a website and today, the BWiS Network is a global networking platform that works towards giving Black women the necessary platforms and opportunities to further their careers and interests in Science fields.
