Dr John O'Brien CBiol FSB
Working on the application of improving biolistic delivery of getting DNA or fluorescent dyes into live cells. Biolistic transfection is proving an increasingly popular method of incorporating DNA or dyes into cells that are difficult to transfect...
Professor John T O'Brien
My research interests in dementia include the role of biomarkers, especially MRI, SPECT and PET imaging, in the differential and early diagnosis of dementia, including identifying those ‘at risk’ of future cognitive decline and developing markers ...
Dr Cahir O'Kane
We use Drosophila as a model organism to study synapse function. Questions of major interest include the mechanisms of synaptic vesicle trafficking, and the roles of cellular trafficking pathways in the pathology of neurodegenerative diseases. Rec...
Dr Martin O'Neill
I am currently researching the neurophysiology of reward processes, focusing on the role neurons in the orbitofrontal cortex play in decision making under conditions of uncertainty. My previous research (PhD) investigated the neuropharmacology o...
Dr Shigekazu Oda
My long-term goal is to discover generalities of information process in neural circuit. For this purpose, I am using a simple model organism, C. elegans. Primarily, I have been studying the molecular and neural dynamics in C. elegans by using in v...- Dr Stephan Ohnmacht
Our research at the WBIC focuses on the development of novel small molecule radiotracers using 18F and 11C radionuclides. Positron Emission Tomography is applied to study diseases such as stroke, tumor hypoxia as well as Alzheimer's and other neur... 
Dr Shin-ichi Ohnuma
We are studying mechanisms of retinogenesis using frog Xenopus as a model system. In particular, we are interested in mechanism of communication between cell cycle regulation and cell fate determination.
Dr Birgitta Olofsson
How does an animal evaluate food and how is this information used to modify its feeding behaviour appropriately? In many animals food provides a reinforcing feedback after it is eaten that influences subsequent food-seeking behaviour. Variation ...
Dr Charlotte Oomen
I am interested in the development and cognitive symptoms of psychopathological disorders such as schizophrenia and depression. During my PhD I studied the structural and functional consequences of early life and chronic stress on the hippocampu...
Dr Swidbert Ott
Our broad goal is to understand the mechanisms that enable animals of a given genotype to adjust to changes in their environment. As an experimental model we use Phase Change in the Desert Locust, an extreme and economically devastating example of...- Joanne Outtrim

Professor Adrian Owen
In January 2011, my research team and I moved to the University of Western Ontario, Canada, where I have taken up the Canada Excellence Research Chair (CERC) in Cognitive Neuroscience and Imaging. Although I continue to maintain strong collaborati...
