Researchers are developing a better understanding of brain
disorders, particularly stroke, movement disorders, demyelinating
diseases, mental health disorders, dementia and brain injury in
adults and babies.
research interests include GABA and glutamate neurotransmission, & excitotoxicmechanisms of cell injury in the neonatal brain
investigates the way neurobiological understanding of addiction affects how we think about and treat individuals with an addiction
research examines the nature of language processing in both healthy and neurologically-involved populations
research explores the brain mechanisms for healthy language processing, language disorders, & language treatment & recovery
Research aims to understand more about neuropsychiatric aspects of Parkinson's disease and related disorders
aims to advance the detection, interpretation & tracking of vital brain abnormalities in critically ill newborn babies
aims to identify & assess the potential impact of new tobacco control strategies to accelerate the decline in smoking prevalence
research focuses on diseases affecting the nervous system & role the immune response may play in multiple sclerosis (MS)
works on addiction and related topics from the perspectives of advances in genetics and neuroscience
examines information processing by people with autistic spectrum disorders and how efficiency of processing may be influenced
aims to identify the brain mechanisms underlying unimpaired language processing
explores the cognitive and brain mechanisms underlying healthy adult language processing
research explores glutamate homeostasis in the central nervous system. Particularly interested in regulation of the glutamate transporters.
research comprises of two inter-related areas - body composition and cardiovascular function in neonates.
aims to inform public policy on the possibility of neuroenhancement by pharmaceuticals that may be used to modify brain processes
is currently exploring the social implications of emerging neurobiological research on addiction.
main interest is in one carbon metabolism & its impact on maternal, foetal & neonatal health
investigating the use of pharmaceuticals and other substances by "healthy" people to enhance their cognition
interest is in the epidemiology, screening, early behavioral interventions and treatment of high-risk child development
interest is on the development & application of advanced MRI techniques to aid the detection & monitoring of disease processes
is a child and adolescent psychiatrist whose research is focussed around child and adolescent mental health and early psychosis.
is a world expert in the treatment and research of Parkinson's disease.
research investigates hypoxic/ischemic brain injury in the neonate
investigates the mechanisms involved in disease development, diagnosis and treatment ischemic stroke and multiple sclerosis.
