Clinical Neuroscience Doctor of Philosophy - PhD

We are a multidisciplinary team of scientists conducting experimental and clinical research of international impact and with a diverse range of specialties, including in areas of molecular, cellular and systems levels, cognitive and behavioural, clinical and computational neuroscience.

We work closely with academics and healthcare professionals across local and international networks, along with patients and public involvement groups, and industrial and policy partners, to apply neuroscience knowledge in clinical settings. From cell-based research to multimodal neuroimaging and precision medicine, our clinical neuroscience research encompasses diverse experimental and clinical tools and treatment modalities.
