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.Potential research projects An online study of repetitive activities and circumscribed interests in autismCurrent / recent research projects Investigating Sensory and Motor Deficits in ADHD Neurofeedback for the Treatment of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Depression and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Cognitive deficits in Huntingdon disease Exploring the Broader Autism Phenotype in Simplex Versus Multiplex Autism Families

This research theme focuses on understanding how land management impacts upon biodiversity in the environment and on the development of more effective management options to conserve the diversity of plant species. The Department of Life Sciences hosts the Floodplain Meadows Partnership, which specialises in the management, promotion and restoration of floodplain meadows in England and Wales.

We use a range of cutting edge methods from molecular biology to orbital flight experiments to understand the way in which microorganisms persist in extreme environments, including investigations on how microorganisms interact with the lithosphere to gain energy and nutrients. We investigate the biosignatures that life can leave in extreme environments that could be used in life detection.
