Neuroscience

Led by Professor Alastair Compston

...will develop strategies to deliver new therapies for limiting tissue injury in common diseases of the adult nervous system. In acute brain injury state of the art monitoring and imaging will be used to develop and evaluate novel neuroprotective and haemostatic agents. In demyelinating disease immunological and genetic analyses will be combined with in vitro modelling of axon glial interactions to understand the basis for progression of multiple sclerosis with the aim of developing treatments that promote endogenous remyelination. In neurodegenerative diseases categorisation of complex disorders will be used to develop novel therapies through application of basic science programmes in stem cell and molecular biology.
