I am a neuroscientist, studying fundamental mechanisms related to addiction. A major feature of my research is the neuropharmacological characterisation of potential novel therapeutic strategies to combat drug-seeking behaviour
I use multidisciplinary and neuroimaging approaches to understand how the biochemistry of the brain affects how the brain functions in health and disease. This basic science underpins treatment approaches and furthers our understanding of a wide range of brain disorders.
I am a molecular and cellular biologist with particular interest in understanding the regulation of DNA damage surveillance pathway and its role in the maintenance of genome stability.
I am a psychologist who leads an internationally recognised program of research which aims to increase our understanding of alcohol and drug problems, prevent them where possible and improve treatment responses.
I am a perinatal physiologist who specializes in determining the factors that cause fetal and neonatal brain damage, and in devising treatments to prevent this for application in pregnant women and the neonate.
