• Cellular signalling pathways are molecular connections that control development and function in nerve cells. 

​

• Changes in signalling pathways alter the molecular wiring in nerve cells and cause a wide range of neurological diseases, ranging from neurodevelopmental disorders to neurodegenerative diseases.

​

• Many neurological disorders are poorly understood and lack effective treatments.

​

• We aim to uncover the molecular mechanisms contributing to these diseases by studying how changes in signalling pathways, such as mTOR and mitochondrial signalling alter nerve cell development and function.

​

• Our research will contribute to improved understanding and the development of novel treatments for currently intractable neurological disorders.
