Cork NeuroScience (CNS) group comprises coherently linked projects in the fields of development, neural plasticity and repair.
The Research group investigates a range of neurodegenerative, neurological and psychiatric diseases and disorders, including;Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Epilepsy and seizures, Multiple sclerosis, Depression and anxiety, in addition to a number of other orphan brain diseases .
Work spans across basic and clinical research allowing translational discoveries. A key aim of the group is to promote collaborative research between clinical and basic neuroscience researchers.
A key aim of the Cork Neuroscience Group is to promote collaborative research between clinical and basic neuroscience researchers allowing translational discoveries. Consisting of almost 40 Principal Investigators, teams within the ‘CNS group’ are divided equally into basic and clinical researchers.
Research is carried out in the BioSciences Institute, the Schools of Pharmacy and Clinical Therapies at UCC, and Cork University Hospital.

Cork NeuroScience research group , under the following Research Themes.
Research Themes.
The mysteries of how the brain develops, functions and malfunctions are among the most challenging and fascinating in modern medicine where new techniques at the molecular and cellular level are opening up exciting avenues for scientific pursuit.
University College Cork offers first class opportunities for undergraduate and postgraduate study and research and continuing professional development.
Our aim is to provide scientists of the future with a world class, student-centred education, based on current knowledge, informed by research and with an awareness of societal needs.
