We are based in Newcastle University Biosciences Institute (NUBI), which comprises over >100 active research groups, >200 postdoctoral research associates and >240 PhD students. The NUBI makes use of state-of-the-art neuroscience technology, ranging from single-cell analysis, molecular biology advanced neurophysiological and neuroimaging techniques.

The Laboratory of Cognitive and Translational Neuroscience aims to establish internationally competitive research in neurobiological basis of auditory cognition and memory with the potential to advance treatments and therapeutic interventions for nervous system disorders. We develop programs to link with clinical and neurosurgical patient work, which strongly aligns with the vision of Newcastle University and the vision of Newcastle University and Newcastle University Centres of Research Excellence (NUCoREs).

Our work is supported by the Medical Research Council (MRC, UK), the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC, UK) and the National Institute of Health (NIH, USA).
