Postgrad Profiles

LAUREN HENNESSY 2ND YEAR PHD

I’m currently a second year PhD candidate, working with a new form of brain stimulation known as ‘low-intensity repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation’, in order to treat depression. This technique is painless, non-invasive, and can be used to help patients that do not respond to medications or therapy. My research aims to improve upon the current method already being used in clinics to make it as effective and accessible as possible for patients, and to help us understand more about how it works on a biological level. Outside of my PhD, you can always find me baking, sewing, practising Dutch and German language with my family, and discovering the best Italian restaurants across Perth.
