The epigenomic, transcriptional and diagnostic architecture of neurodevelopmental disorders caused by exposure to maternal infection

The University of Manchester Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health
A fundamental unknown in understanding mechanisms of disease, and therefore improving therapy, is how stressors experienced during critical developmental periods influence the genesis or ‘programming’ of adult disease (Estes & McAllister 2016). Read more

Manipulation of neuroimmune responses and behaviour by infectious agents

University of Leeds Faculty of Biological Sciences
This project is available exclusively to self-funded students who wish to commence study for a PhD in the academic year 2023/24. The project focuses on how infectious agents modify the individuals that they infect and how neuroimmune responses to infection moderate behaviour changes in warm-blooded animals and humans.

Dissecting behaviourally relevant feedback microcircuits in the brain

Queen Mary University of London Blizard Institute
Interactions between distinct neural circuits in the brain help in sensory-guided perceptual decisions. We have recently reported that task/context-switching behaviour is dependent upon specific populations of neurons in the frontal cortex which encode and convey rule-related information (Banerjee et al.
