Our research focuses on the fundamentals of neurobiology and how they relate to behaviour. Key themes of our research are: neuronal structure and development; neuropathology and glial cell biology; neurophysiological and functional imaging measurements of the human brain; biochemical, electrophysiological and behavioural aspects of learning, memory and attention; and genetic, biological and cognitive underpinnings of disorders across the lifespan, including autism, dementia, Huntington's disease, and ADHD.

Functional gene analysis underlying key plant traits linked to yield enhancement in wheat (building on our recent wheat genome sequencing) and in barley, and the molecular and genomic analysis of photosynthesis in Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) and C4 species are a key research focus. The latter directly underpins our work to develop novel non-food biofuels feedstock crops suited to seasonally dry lands.
