The group’s research covers neurogenetic disorders, often rare variant of common disease. Understanding the disease pathways in these conditions will allow development of meaningful therapies. The group is developing new disease models for more effective drug discovery platforms.

Our projects study cognitive/psychiatric disorders and comparative evolutionary neuroscience. We are interested in the relationship between brain structure and function - particularly language and social cognition

Matt J Craner


One of the key research aims include the identification of molecular mechanisms that contribute to loss of neurons and axons in multiple sclerosis (MS) and targeting these mechanisms with neuroprotective drugs that can be rapidly translated to clinical practice.
