The Simons Foundation has pledged £20 million for pioneering studies into the biological mechanisms that underpin changes in brain development associated with autism. The Simons Initiative for the Developing Brain will be based at the Patrick Wild Centre.
This program is intended to facilitate innovative research opportunities and supports basic science, as well as translational and/or clinical investigators. Our lab secured 2-year support to develop novel mouse models of ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorders) using targeted g...
We are seeking an enthusiastic, motivated individual with experience in molecular/cellular neurobiology and imaging to join an existing team with expertise in neurobiology and neurophysiology.
Presenting our research today at the 7th biannual EMCCS-FENS and EBBS-EMCCS joint FENS satellite meeting in Copenhagen. Congratulations and thanks to Ángel Barco, Shira Knafo and Nicolas C. Petersen for the excellent organisation.
Patrick Smith, who did his experimental project in our lab, finishes with first class and top of his Honours Neuroscience class. Patrick developed a new fluorescent reporter for monitoring protein synthesis in neurons. Great job Patrick!
Our lab has secured funding for the project "Translational control of neuronal mRNAs in autism spectrum disorders". We will apply diverse biochemical and electrophysiological imaging and behavioural approaches in transgenic rodents to elucidate the neurobiological basi...
