Neuroscience, Inflammatory Disorders & Therapeutics Research Group

About the group

The Neuroscience, Inflammatory Disorders & Therapeutics research group, within the Centre for Nutraceuticals, is based in the University of Westminster's School of Life Sciences

The Neuroscience, Inflammatory Disorders & Therapeutics group aims to investigate the mechanisms underlying neurological and inflammatory diseases and to understand fundamental principles of biological pathways relating to inflammation, with the aim of identifying novel therapeutic agents to delay or halt disease progression or alleviate symptoms.

  • Pathomechanisms underlying Focal Epilepsy 
  • Inflammatory mechanisms involved in liver disease development
  • The effect of antibiotics on liver function
  • Mechanisms involved in the development of Ischaemic stroke
  • Stability and aggregation phenotypes of the AMPA receptors & 
  • Investigating the role of RNA editing of Glutamate receptors in neuropathologies
  • Inflammation and platelet activation: molecular mechanisms involved in the interaction between immune cells and platelets
  • The functional role of platelets in haemostasis and thrombosis
