Translational Neuroscience Doctor of Philosophy - PhD

We are a multidisciplinary team of scientists conducting research of international impact in neuroscience, drawing upon a wide range of fields - for example neuropsychology, neuroimaging, experimental medicine, biomedicine, engineering computational and digital technology.

We conduct experimental research to better understand the brain in health and disease, working closely with clinical academics and clinicians across local and international networks, patient and public involvement groups, and industrial partners. Our work focuses on deciphering specific and shared pathomechanisms of neurological and psychiatric disorders, and on innovative targeted treatment technologies.

Core research themes/topics:


- neuroinflammation


- neurovascular


- neurodevelopment


- neurodegeneration


- sensory neuroscience (mainly hearing)


- affect


- cognition


- brain plasticity


Our methodological expertise includes:


- phenotyping


- biomarker discovery


- cell-based and cell-free therapeutics


- experimental models of human disease


- cognitive screening and rehabilitation


- multimodal neuroimaging acquisition and analysis


- neuromodulation
