Research interests

My interests involve understanding the molecular basis of complex neuropsychiatric conditions. In particular I am interested in understanding how changes in synaptic signalling within the nervous system contribute to conditions such as autism, addiction and chronic pain. To address this question my research combines pharmacological, electrohysiological and molecular genetic approaches with the model organism C. elegans and has involved interdisciplinary collaborations with engineering and computer sciences at the University of 天发娱乐棋牌_天发娱乐APP-官网|下载. My research has provided insight into the role of glutamatergic and insulin signalling in the co-ordination of context-dependent behaviour and insight into the molecular substrates of neuroadaptation that underpin behavioural plasticity in response to chronic alcohol.

Research project(s)

Modelling decision making in C. elegans to understand neural mechanisms of major psychiatric disorders

Genetic differences have been identified in individuals with autism and schizophrenia. Here we are using the model organism C. elegans to investigate how these genetic differences bring about changes in the function of neural circuits.
