Emma Yhnell is a research scientist at Cardiff University, in the Medical Research Council Centre for Neuropsychiatric Genetics and Genomics. She conducts research on computerised cognitive training and Huntington's disease. In 2018, Yhnell won the British Science Association's Charles Darwin Award Lecture for Agricultural, Biological and Medical Sciences. Early life and educationYhnell attended Chosen Hill School in Gloucestershire (2001-2009). Yhnell then went to Cardiff University for undergraduate study and graduated with a First Class BSc Hons in Biochemistry in 2012. She completed her PhD in 2015, which was funded by an MRC studentship,[1] on Behavioural Neuroscience and Huntington's disease.[2] CareerYhnell currently works as a post-doctoral research fellow in the Neuroscience and Mental Health Research Institute, within the MRC Centre for Neuropsychiatric Genetics and Genomics at Cardiff University.[1][2] Her research is on Huntington's disease, a rare genetic brain disorder which causes cognitive, motor, and psychiatric problems.[1] She currently has a Health and Care Research Wales Fellowship to investigate the potential of computerised cognitive training for people with Huntington's disease,[2] translating her findings from her PhD into the clinical setting with patients.[3] Yhnell's public engagement work has included speaking at the Hay Festival of Literature & Arts, Soapbox Science, a series of events promoting women working in science, and Pint of Science, a festival communicating scientific developments to the general public.[8] In March 2016, Yhnell attended the Westiminster Parliament of the United Kingdom to present on the potential of using games to train the brain, to improve cognition and movement, as part of the national competition SET for Britain.[4][5] She is a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy[6] and a British Neuroscience Association Local Group Representative.[12] Yhnell won the Biochemical Society's Science Communication Competition in the Written category in 2015.[7] In 2017 she won the Young Investigator Award from the Cardiff Institute of Tissue Engineering and Repair.[8] In the same year she was a finalist for the Womenspire Chwarae Teg Rising Star award.[9] In 2018, Yhnell was awarded the British Science Association's Charles Darwin Award Lecture for Agricultural, Biological and Medical Sciences. Yhnell gave her award lecture at the British Science Festival in Hull in September 2018,[10] in which she discussed her cutting edge research in Huntington's disease and it's challenges, and public and patient involvement in research in using brain-training.[11] References1. ^1 2 {{Cite news|url=https://www.cardiff.ac.uk/mrc-centre-neuropsychiatric-genetics-genomics/get-involved/public-engagement/public-engagement-champions/emma|title=Emma Yhnell|last=|first=|date=|work=Cardiff University|access-date=2018-10-10|language=en}} 2. ^1 2 {{Cite web|url=https://theconversation.com/profiles/emma-yhnell-493154|title=Emma Yhnell|website=The Conversation|language=en|access-date=2018-10-10}} 3. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/health/welsh-women-who-forefront-scientific-12585560|title=These Welsh women are at the forefront of scientific innovation|last=Smith|first=Mark|date=2017-02-11|work=walesonline|access-date=2018-10-11}} 4. ^{{Cite news|url=https://huntingtonsdiseasenews.com/2016/03/16/brain-training-computer-games-to-combat-huntingtons-disease/|title=Huntington’s Patients May Find Computer Games Help Improve Thinking and Movement - Huntington's Disease News|date=2016-03-16|work=Huntington's Disease News|access-date=2018-10-10|language=en-US}} 5. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.cardiff.ac.uk/news/view/211972-brain-training-computer-games-to-combat-huntingtons-disease|title=Brain-training computer games to combat Huntington’s disease|work=Cardiff University|access-date=2018-10-10|language=en}} 6. ^1 {{Cite news|url=http://www.welshcrucible.org.uk/emma-yhnell/|title=Emma Yhnell|date=2018-08-23|work=Welsh Crucible|access-date=2018-10-10|language=en-US}} 7. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.biochemistry.org/GetInvolved/ScienceCommunicationCompetition/Previouswinners.aspx|title=Previous Science Communication Competition winners|last=Bioscience|first=Biochemical Society {{!}} Advancing Molecular|website=www.biochemistry.org|language=en-GB|access-date=2018-10-11}} 8. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.cardiff.ac.uk/news/view/940551-citer-annual-scientific-meeting-2017|title=CITER Annual Scientific Meeting 2017|work=Cardiff University|access-date=2018-10-10|language=en}} 9. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.cteg.org.uk/womenspire-18/womenspire-2017-finalists/|title=Womenspire 2017 Finalists - Chwarae Teg|work=Chwarae Teg|access-date=2018-10-11|language=en-US}} 10. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.bna.org.uk/mediacentre/news/cardiff-neuroscience-researcher-wins-bsa-award-lecture/|title=Cardiff neuroscience researcher wins BSA Award Lecture {{!}} News {{!}} The British Neuroscience Association|website=www.bna.org.uk|language=en-gb|access-date=2018-10-11}} 11. ^1 {{Cite news|url=https://www.britishscienceassociation.org/news/top-researchers-recognised-ahead-of-british-science-festival|title=Top researchers recognised ahead of British Science Festival|work=British Science Association|access-date=2018-10-10|language=en}} External links
