Course summary

Disorders of the nervous system are major causes of disability globally. Through our Neurological Science research degree, you can contribute to research that benefits patients, enhancing both our understanding and treatment of neurological conditions. Alongside this PhD, we also offer a range of one year research projects designed for medical students interested in working for an intercalated MPhil.IntroductionWe have a long tradition of world-leading research in neuroscience at Liverpool – including the pioneering work on neurophysiology by 1932 Nobel Prize winner Sir Charles Sherrington. Today our work addresses fundamental issues in basic and clinical neuroscience, including molecular, cellular and genomic bases of the central nervous system function, neurodegeneration, neuropharmacology, epilepsy, neuropathy, neuro-inflammation and brain infection.Join the Institute of Infection, Veterinary, and Ecological Sciences (IVES) and study applied and basic aspects of neurological infections, epilepsy, pain, magnetic resonance imaging, and health services research. Our ongoing research includes multiple sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease and ranges from detailed neuropath genesis and molecular genetic studies, through clinical trials and public health interventions.Neuroscience projects are based in the Clinical Science Centre for Research and Education adjacent to University Hospital Aintree and the Walton Centre for Neurology and Neurosurgery NHS Trust, which is the only Neuroscience NHS Trust in the country.IVES is also home to the Brain Infection and Inflammation Group. We offer an Integrated Academic Training Programme in Neuroscience, which is mostly funded by the National Institutes for Health Research (NIHR) and the National Coordinating Centre for Research Career Development (NCCRCD). This allows academic training alongside clinical training through various career stages. We have a strong track record in supporting successful post-graduate researchers right through their clinical academic career.Research topicsRelevant areas for potential research on this research degree include:Neuro-infection and inflammationEpilepsyChronic pain and symptom-based disordersNeurodegeneration.
