Research

Our animating ethos rests on the belief that major and fundamental research problems are best solved by combining research strengths across disciplines and levels of analysis. Combining our strengths in this way will allow us to deliver major scientific discoveries of great consequence for human health, welfare and knowledge.
Over the next five years we plan to build on our existing strengths within the following three thematic research areas:
- Research Focus 1: Synapses, Cognition and Behaviour
- Research Focus 2: Neuropsychiatry and Neurodevelopmental Disorders
- Research Focus 3: Neurodegeneration, Neuroprotection and Neurorepair
and we plan to further develop our platform technologies:
Reflecting TCIN’s interdisciplinary ethos, our Principal Investigators will align their research activity across these thematic areas. By leveraging our research strengths in these areas, we plan to prioritise our focus on innovation, to continue to develop our successful education programmes and to continue to build our significant contribution to society and outreach activities.
