I am Brian Morris, Professor of Molecular Neurobiology here in the School of Psychology & Neuroscience. My research focuses on the neurobiological basis of schizophrenia: characterisation of neurobiological dysfunction, identification of genomic abnormalities, and identification of novel drug candidates. I also investigate neuronal plasticity and the role of protein signalling complexes, mRNA translation, (including dendritic mRNA), and gene transcription (including transcription factors) in sustaining late phase of long-term potentiation.
