Synaptic biology and disease

Studying the molecular components of synaptic transmission that underlie cognition, learning and memory.

Mouse brain section showing synaptic function

Investigating the basis of cognition, behaviour, learning and memory. A particular focus is on the synapse in health and disease: dissecting the molecular basis of multiprotein machine mechanisms at the synapse and exploring synaptic pharmacology.
