We aim to provide an environment where excellent scientists can make exciting discoveries for patient benefit. Cell and Developmental Biology We explore how molecular interactions between proteins and small molecules, defined at atomic resolution, govern biochemical output and in turn control cell behaviour. Clinical Neurosciences Examining how clinical and environmental factors can affect brain development. Interdisciplinary Dementia and Ageing Centre We are a network that brings together local expertise from across the research spectrum within the University and University Hospital Southampton. Our aim is to increase understanding of dementia and brain ageing and how to treat and care for people with these conditions.
