Molecular mediators, epigenetic modulators and therapeutic targets for cognitive disorders [ 2017 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Anthony Hannan (Principal investigator)

Brief description Brain disorders constitute an enormous, and growing, burden. My research investigates how genes and environment combine to cause disorders of cognition, including dementia, schizophrenia and autism. The research will provide new insights into these disorders, at the level of molecules, cells and behaviour. I will explore how genetic and environmental factors interact, with a focus on mental activity, physical exercise and stress, which affect a range of neurological and psychiatric disorders.
