Mikkael Lamoca

Mikkael’s Fulbright award will fund a 10-month research experience in the BioIonic Currents Electromagnetic Pulsing Systems (BICEPS) Laboratory at the National University of Singapore.  His research focuses on age-related neurodegeneration, which can be seen in Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, and other conditions.

“One of the biggest reasons I wanted to work with this lab is that I would be the first person there to do this type of research on neuroprotection, and that I would have access to work with the lab’s patented technology. This lab established all of the processes for magnetically induced secretome production, so I’m going to use their methods to see if it can be applied to neuroprotection efforts,” says Mikkael. Read more

The Fulbright U.S. Student Program is a prestigious award that provides funding to study for a master’s degree, complete an independent research project, or teach English for up to a year outside the U.S. During their grant period, Fulbrighters meet, work, live with, and learn from the people of their host country.
