Areas of Research

Human non-invasive neurostimulation and mouse modelling of stress
We use non-invasive neurostimulation methods, like transcranial magnetic stimulation, to study and treat psychiatric illness. We have a particular interest in intersectional approaches, such as pharmacology, to enhance the effects of neurostimulation. In parallel, we use mouse models of stress and mesoscale imaging to understand the physiological effects of major risk factors for neuropsychiatric disease in humans.
