Research pillars

Our multidisciplinary and ambitious research is helping translate scientific discoveries into pioneering treatments for patients living with neurological and sensory-related diseases. Neuroscience spans the biological and biomedical, behavioural and psychological, computational and data science.

There are three research pillars at the heart of our pioneering work:

Nerve cells

Translational

Harnessing scientific developments and translating them into effective therapies for patients.

Translational research

White matter pathways of the human brain revealed by diffusion tensor imaging

Cognitive neuroscience and mental health

Combining advanced computational, neuroimaging and other state-of-the-art research tools to investigate brain function.
