Brain Sciences research at Imperial College London

The mission of Brain Sciences at Imperial College London is to develop and sustain a unique portfolio of translational research in neuroscience and mental health.

With the creation of a Division of Brain Sciences, we have aligned expertise and facilities on the refurbished Hammersmith campus to create a dynamic multidisciplinary research environment that addresses national priorities for life sciences and health.

The Division of Brain Sciences is made up of three research themes: Neuropsychopharmacology and Mental Health, Neuroinflammation and Neurodegeneration and Brain Plasticity and Recovery.

We host the Multiple Sclerosis Society and Parkinson’s UK Tissue Bank at the Hammersmith Hospital campus of Imperial College London.

Key staff include: Professor Paul Matthews, Professor David Nutt, Professor Steve Gentleman
