PhD Neuroscience (Biomedical Sciences - Centre for Discovery Brain Sciences) in Edinburgh United Kingdom | The University of Edinburgh

The Centre for Discovery Brain Sciences (CDBS) conducts research across molecular, cellular, systems, and behavioral scales to explore core mechanisms and pathways involved in brain and body function during both healthy and diseased states.

CDBS researchers leverage cutting-edge technologies in genomics, proteomics, imaging, data science, and live organism studies to examine gene product functions across cellular, organ, and whole-animal scales, while also investigating cognition and behavior through systems, neural circuits, cellular, and molecular approaches.

They utilize optimal model organisms/systems, balancing strong biomedical relevance (including human, mouse, and rat models) with powerful genetic tractability (such as C. elegans, drosophila, and zebrafish).

Their investigations span the central and peripheral nervous systems, employing diverse analytical perspectives ranging from molecular and cellular studies to cognitive neuroscience, neuroimaging, and behavioral neuroscience research.
