Lab description

We use a range of techniques (electrophysiology/immunohistochemistry) to understand the cellular and network changes that underlie a range neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative disease. Using both rodent models and human tissue we are exploring the role of neuroinflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction and changes in interneuron function associated with schizophrenia, Alzheimer's disease, dementia with Lewy bodies and motorneurone disease.
