Course summary

The UCL Research Department of Neuroscience, Physiology and Pharmacology (NPP) traces its origins to the founding of the Department of Physiology at UCL in 1828, the first of its kind in England. Today in NPP we research fundamental aspects of how and why organisms work, continuing a long-standing tradition of shedding light on the most complex animal function and behaviour, in both health and disease, by revealing the underpinning molecules, cells, systems and circuits. Students joining the UCL Research Department of Neuroscience, Physiology and Pharmacology enter our outstanding postgraduate training environment. The department brings together scientists working in world-leading interdisciplinary research specialities related to the structure and function of single molecules, synaptic signalling in the nervous system, understanding of circuits in the brain underlying behaviour, pain and inflammation, metabolic and cardiovascular disease and the pharmacology of neurotransmitter receptors, channels and transporters in cell membranes. Academic research is conducted at molecular, cellular, organismal and systems levels and may involve animal models of disease or studies in humans. Our PhD programme will provide you with the opportunity to develop the analytical and research skills you need to answer the fundamental scientific questions of our time. High-achieving applicants with a demonstrable interest in neuroscience, physiology or pharmacology will find a diverse and welcoming environment in which to develop their research skills and build career in research.
