Studying the effects of early life stress on anxiety and neural stress circuits.
This project will investigate how exposure to stress during early postnatal development leads to changes in neural circuits in the brain which control stress responses as well as associated anxiety behaviours. Read more

Impact of underwater noise pollution on the early life history of cartilaginous fishes
Masters Degree by Research. Ocean soundscapes are rapidly changing due to an increase in anthropogenic (human-made) noise, which is having profound effects on marine animals, including fishes. Read more

Coping Strategy Enhancement – adapting the intervention for the treatment of hallucinations in the context of dementia
Applications are invited for a 3-year fully funded PhD studentship based at the Centre for Dementia Studies, Neuroscience Division, Brighton and Sussex Medical School (BSMS) at the University of Sussex Campus. Read more
Communication of tumour cells with the blood-brain barrier
The blood-brain barrier forms the crucial interface between the systemic circulation and the privileged site of the central nervous system (CNS). Read more
Mechanistic analysis of neurodevelopmental disorders caused by mutations in the gene RAC1
RAC1 is a signalling protein that regulates many cellular processes and is essential during embryonic development. We recently discovered a novel genetic disease called RAC1-related neurodevelopmental disorder (RAC1-NDD) that results from mutations in the RAC1 gene. Read more
The effect of dementia and aging on the functional and hemodynamic response of the brain
The neuro-vascular unit and the hemodynamic response regulate how the blood supply in our brain meets the metabolic demand of neuronal activity. Read more
Early life perturbations and neurological disorders in later life
The formation of the brain involves a complex choreography of events and players during development. While this process is continuous, there are however critical periods in which this process is particularly susceptible to perturbations. Read more

Cognitive and well-being outcomes in genetic metabolic disease
Main supervisor: Dr Cristina Romani. Associate supervisors: Dr Jane Waite and Anita McDonald. This is an exciting opportunity to carry out research on a relatively common genetic metabolic disease. Read more
Deciphering cell-type specific effects of P2X7R antagonism on tauopathy ex vivo
Project Description. P2X7R is a receptor that is predominantly expressed by non-neuronal cells in the brain. P2X7R levels are increased in AD and in tauopathies which accumulate modified forms of tau protein in the brain. Read more
