Dr Kate Baker Genomic technology is now enabling the identification of many novel causes of neurodevelopmental disorder. This provides a new starting point for understanding the relationships between specific genetic mutation, neuronal function, brain developm...
Dr Ichrak DRISSI I'm a neuroscientist at Cambridge Institute for Medical Research (CIMR), University of Cambridge. My research interests aim to understand genetic alterations underlying painlessness and excess pain disorders. By analysing DNA from patients sufferi...
Dr Maria Angeles Fernandez My main interest is the study of signalling pathways and molecular mechanisms involved in neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Huntington's disease, and its use as a target for the possible therapy of these diseases.
Actually, my rese...
Dr Maria Jimenez-Sanchez I am interested in the study of neurodegenerative diseases such as Huntington´s disease that are associated with the formation of intracellular protein aggregates.
My research focuses on exploring the molecular mechanisms that cells employ to pr...
Dr Yoo Koung (Y.K.) Ko I am a molecular neuroscientist interested in elucidating molecular and cellular mechanisms behind disorders of brains and translating this understanding to novel therapies. My current research focuses on finding drugs that are beneficial to the t...
Dr Evan Reid My group's research is focussed on the hereditary spastic paraplegias, genetic conditions where the corticospinal tract axons degenerate. HSPs selectively involve axons while sparing the neuronal cell bodies, so we study them to understand molecul...
Dr Tim Rooney I am a research associate at the Alzheimer's Research UK Drug Discovery Institute where I work as a medicinal chemist on a variety of projects related to neurodegeneration. With expertise in drug discovery, organic chemistry and chemical biology, ...
Professor David Rubinsztein The pathogenesis of diseases caused by codon reiteration mutations (like Huntington’s disease and oculopharangeal muscular dystrophy).
Description of research:
We are studying the pathogenesis of diseases caused by codon reiteration mutations, l...
Dr John Skidmore I am a medicinal chemist and drug discovery leader interested in working collaboratively with academics and industry in order to translate basic neurodegeneration research into potential new treatments.
The Alzheimer’s Research UK Cambridge Drug ...
Dr Lidia Wrobel I am a post-doctoral researcher at Cambridge Institute for Medical Research. My research interests aim to understand the mechanisms that could prevent accumulation of misfolded toxic proteins in neurodegenerative diseases. To maintain proper prote...
