PhD/MPhil/MD Neurobiology and Neurodegeneration in Liverpool United Kingdom | University of Liverpool

The field of Neurobiology & Neurodegeneration combines specialized knowledge in cellular biology, structural biology, signaling pathways, and model organism studies to explore neuronal development, aging processes, neurodegenerative diseases, and addictive behaviors. These investigations are conducted within the Department of Cellular and Molecular Physiology, a world-renowned hub for studying core physiological principles in humans. Our department boasts acknowledged proficiency across the full spectrum of contemporary physiology, spanning from gene expression control to comprehensive organism-level biological systems.
Our methodological toolkit incorporates biochemical assays, behavioral studies, electrophysiological measurements, molecular techniques, structural analyses, and advanced imaging methods, employed in both mammalian cellular models and established research organisms like Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophila melanogaster. These approaches are enhanced by protein-level investigations and evolutionary conservation studies using Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast models. These interconnected research initiatives foster a vibrant scientific atmosphere, further enriched by growing collaborations with The Liverpool Neuroscience consortium, which includes specialists in clinical neurology.
