International scholarship recipient Ms Julia Gatsek has spent two months at Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Orange examining the link between anxiety, depression and chronic pain. CSU School of Biomedical Science academics Dr Andrew Delaney and Dr James Crane have hosted the German undergraduate student who is visiting the University on a scholarship funded by international pharmaceutical company Roche.  “Julia has been with us since August working in our research laboratory and running behavioural experiments,” says Dr Crane. “Thanks to the support of Charles Sturt University who subsidised her accommodation, Julia is working with our team until 7 October. To have the recipient of an internationally recognised scholarship working with us on this important project increases the standing of the University in the international biomedical sciences community. We hope it will lead to more collaboration between our research group and neuroscientists in Germany.”
