Motion vision lab

Our focus is understanding the processing of motion vision, and in particular how sensory selectivity is achieved.

Pain and Sensory Cell Neurobiology Lab

Our research focuses on sensory nervous system activity and its underlying causes in the development of chronic pain conditions.

Visceral Neurophysiology Laboratory

Our research aims at understand how internal organs (like the gut) communicate with the brain, in health and disease.

Motor Neuron Disease and Neurotrophic Laboratory

Our focus is the discovery and development of non-invasive biomarkers and treatment strategies for Motor Neuron Disease.

Swallowing Research Group

Our research focuses on oropharyngeal and oesophageal swallowing disorders in relation to pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment.

Worm Neuroscience lab

Our work explores the molecular and circuit-level processes through which learning and memory take place using the compact brain of the nematode (worm) Caenorhabditis elegans.

Neurogastroenterology Laboratory

Our lab investigates peripheral sensory and autonomic nerves in the gastrointestinal tract and other organs such as human tissue.

Visceral Pain Research Group

We are investigating the causes of and treatments for chronic visceral pain such as in IBS, IBD, bladder pain and endometriosis.
