Staff Lead researcher Professor Katrin Deinhardt Professor Research interests Short- and long-range neurotrophin signalling and its role in morphological plasticity Early neuronal dysfunction in disturbed proteostasis Cellular mechanisms that underlie tau propagation across neurons Connect with Katrin Email: K.Deinhardt@soton.ac.uk Other researchers Professor Vincent O'connor Professor of Neurochemistry Research interests Molecular mechanism of synaptic function and dysfunction Synaptic degeneration Genetic models of synaptic and neuronal dysfunction Connect with Vincent Email: V.M.OConnor@soton.ac.uk Collaborating research institutes, centres and groups Neuroscience We work on national and global priorities of health and well-being, underpinning research in neuroscience, and age-related neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s. Plants and Food Security We study the response of plants to the environment at the molecular, whole plant and ecological levels. This includes interactions with nematodes, insects and microbes.
