    Alternative pre-mRNA splicing increases the ability of our body to produce various cell types with diverse proteomes. We take a three-pronged strategy to study splicing regulation on a genome-wide scale. We use computational approaches, assays to ...
  • nigel unwin Dr Nigel Unwin
    I am interested in finding out how ion channels work, using electron microscopy to analyse their structures trapped in different physiological states. Current research focuses on the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, the transmitter-gated ion chan...
  • Gonzalo P. Urcelay Dr Gonzalo P. Urcelay
    I am interested in learning theories and the neurobiological substrates of acquired behaviour. I am currently conducting studies to assess the involvement of the prefrontal cortex in the transition from goal-directed to habitual behaviours and its...
  • Bert Vaux Dr Bert Vaux
    --grounding of phonological learning in a mathematical implementation of evolutionary information theory. --phonological cognition. --implications of selective aphasias, first and second language acquisition phenomena, processing and production ef...
  • Michele Vendruscolo Professor Michele Vendruscolo
    My research is aimed at taking full advantage of an approach that exploits effectively the synergy between experiment and theory in order to advance towards a full characterisation of the process of protein aggregation. We have developed a metho...
  • Dr Octavian Voiculescu
    Main interest in the principles of building and shaping the central nervous system in higher vertebrates, and the relationship between morphogenesis and patterning of embryo.
  • Valerie Voon Dr Valerie Voon
    I am an Honorary Consultant Neuropsychiatrist and Wellcome Trust Fellow with the Department of Psychiatry. I focus on mechanisms underlying impulsive and compulsive disorders such as substance and behavioural addictions and obsessive compulsive d...
