White Rose BBSRC DTP: Neural circuit changes underpinning learning
Learning is a fundamental feature of brains; they rewire their circuitry to store new information, such as an association between a stimulus and its positive or negative outcome. Read more
White Rose BBSRC DTP: Understanding the role of purinergic receptors in the ageing of the mammalian auditory organ
Age-related hearing loss (ARHL) is the most common sensory deficits in humans and one of the most prevalent chronic dysfunctions in older adults. Read more
White Rose BBSRC DTP: Post-translational protein modifications (PTMs) in the regulation of stress-responsive biomolecular condensates
Phase-separated biomolecular condensates are crucial organisers of cellular architecture and physiology. Paraspeckles are model condensates whose studies helped understand the molecular grammar governing physiological phase separation. Read more
White Rose BBSRC DTP: Compartmentalised synaptic plasticity underlying associative memory
If a neuron is connected to multiple partners, and it needs to change its connection strength with one partner but not the others, how does it do that? That is, what mechanisms underlie the specificity of synaptic plasticity?. Read more
White Rose BBSRC DTP: From engram to tomogram: the in situ structure of memory in the mammalian brain by cryo-electron tomography (cryoET)
Each memory in your brain is stored by a subset cells that are synaptically connected into a neuronal circuit, called an engram. Crucially, it is the molecular and cellular structure of the synaptic connections in this neuronal circuit that is necessary for storing long-term memories. Read more
PhD studentship in Global Health
Applications are invited for a 3-year PhD studentship to work in the Division of Neurology, Department of Brain Sciences, Faculty of Medicine of Imperial College London at the Hammersmith Hospital Campus. . Read more
Funded PhD - Cannabinoids in the ticking network of the brainstem satiety centre
Life on Earth is subordinate to periodic alterations in the environment, with most notable changes seen from day to night. To react, anticipate, and adapt to these cyclic changes, living organisms evolved endogenous 24h timekeeping mechanisms named circadian clocks. Read more
Funded PhD – How does the membrane environment impact the activity of the µ-opioid receptor
The µ-opioid receptor (MOR) is a key player in pain modulation, addiction, and the pharmacological effects of opioid drugs, such as morphine and fentanyl [1]. Read more
White Rose BBSRC DTP: How does Notch signalling orchestrate enteric nervous system development?
The proper function of our gut is controlled, in an involuntary fashion, by a complex network of nerves called the enteric nervous system (ENS), also known as the 'second brain'. Read more
The role of neural oscillations in the formation of new speech memories
Speech memories are like the internal movies of our lives, allowing us to replay past events or to imagine the future. When you remember a conversation for instance, you recollect a myriad of details across senses such as the face and the voice sound associated with the same person. Read more

PhD studentship - An investigation into mechanisms of spinal cord stimulation action using closed-loop and neuropathic pain models in rats
Overview. Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is used as a safe and effective option for multiple, refractory, chronic neuropathic pain disorders, but the mechanisms of action of SCS are still to be fully elucidated. Read more
Circuit basis of learning and action-selection
The overall goal of our research is to discover the circuit implementation of learning and action selection. Since these functions likely emerge from… Read more
Cryo-EM studies of amyloids in neurodegeneration
Our group develops new algorithms for cryo-EM structure determination and implements these in the popular image processing software RELION. Read more
Neuroimmune crosstalk in infection and cancer
Immune reactions against pathogens and tumours require several layers of regulation to ensure the appropriate control of infectious agents and cancerous… Read more
How signals inside the brain make our brains big
The human brain is unique in many ways, but perhaps the most obvious difference compared with other primates is its size. How the human brain gets to be so large during development specifically in humans is a question that has long intrigued neuroscientists but until recently was difficult to study. Read more
