Neuropharmacology & Brain Health

Exploring the mechanisms of brain function and dysfunction to develop therapies for neurological and psychiatric disorders.
Research in this theme spans neurodegeneration, stroke, stress-related disorders, and the gut-brain axis, using cutting-edge models and translational approaches.

• Dr. Barry Boland (lysosomal flux in Alzheimer’s)
• Prof. Christian Waeber (stroke, neuroprotection)
• Dr. Rachel Moloney (PTSD, stress neurobiology)
• Dr. Jatin Nagpal (microbiome and social behaviour in zebrafish)
• Dr. Linda Katona (GABAergic circuits and schizophrenia)
