Understanding the role of lysosomal TMEM106B in brain ageing and disease
Our group studies mechanisms of brain health, ageing and disease focusing on the lysosomal protein transmembrane protein 106B (TMEM106B) which forms amyloids in the brain in an age-dependent manner. Read more
Identification of Novel Mechanisms Supporting Axon Survival and Investigation of their Therapeutic Potential
Programmed axon death is a widespread and completely preventable mechanism in injury and disease (Coleman and Hoke, Nat Rev Neurosci, 2020). Read more
Understanding the biology of Foxp3+ CD8+ regulatory T cells and their potential role in multiple sclerosis
CD4+Foxp3+ regulatory T-cells (Tregs) are the most well characterised suppressive cell type in the immune system, with potent roles in suppressing autoimmunity. Read more
IMAGE-D: Integrated Multimodal Analysis for Gaining Enhanced Understanding and Characterization of Dementia
Dementia encompasses various subtypes such as Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, and frontotemporal dementia, each affecting different aspect of brain structure and function. Read more
Mitochondrial Diseases and Immunity
Supervisor. Prof. Rita Horvath . Co-supervisor: Dr. Daniel Lagos . Mitochondria are specialised cell organelles which transform nutrients into energy. Read more
Inflammatory mediators of cerebral autoregulation in acute brain injury
Inflammatory Mediators of Cerebral Autoregulation in Acute Brain Injury” . Supervised by Mr Adel Helmy and Dr Peter Smielewski . Read more
Multimodal Neuroimaging in Atypical Parkinsonian Disorders
To improve our understanding of the progression of neurodegenerative disease, and the mechanisms involved, we need to combine different types of neuroimaging, and integrate it with clinical and genetic data. Read more
Novel Radiotracers and Radiochemical Methods for the Biomedical Technique of Positron Emission Tomography (PET)
With strong alignment to the clinical programmes within the Department of Clinical Neurosciences and other departments in the Clinical School, our programme… Read more
Gaining Control of Intracellular Stages for Amyloidogenesis via High-Resolution Optical Biosensing Approaches coupled to Nanobody-Based Protein Localisation Control
The project focuses on the intracellular stages of amyloidogenesis, aiming to unravel the complex mechanisms contributing to diseases such as Alzheimer's. Read more
Development of PET Radiotracers for Neuroinflammation
Our aim is to develop novel Positron Emission Tomography (PET) radiotracers for imaging the brain. PET is a non-invasive molecular imaging technique which enables visualization and quantification of various biological targets in vivo (e.g., receptor, enzyme). Read more
Inflammation in Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration: A Multimodal Approach towards New Therapeutics
Neuroinflammation is an important driving mechanism in all diseases caused by frontotemporal lobar degeneration, and predicts clinical progression. Read more
Metabolic Control of Microglia in MS-Associated Cognitive Decline
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a devastating neurological condition affecting millions worldwide. Cognitive impairment significantly impacts the quality of life of people with MS and is often irreversible. Read more
Inherited Eye Diseases and Mitochondrial Genetics
I am an academic neuro-ophthalmologist with a major research interest in mitochondrial genetics and inherited eye diseases. Read more
Neural Stem Cell – Niche Interactions in Mitochondrial Disease
Mitochondrial diseases are caused by defects in genes required for energy production and oxidative phosphorylation (OxPhos). We find it intriguing that some patients with mitochondrial disease present late in life, with very tissue-specific phenotypes. Read more
Investigating Gut-Immune Interactions in Parkinson’s Disease (PhD only)
It is now well established that both gastrointestinal dysfunction and immune activation occur in early Parkinson’s disease, and emerging evidence indicates that these processes are linked to faster disease progression. Read more
