The UCL Research Department of Neuroscience, Physiology and Pharmacology brings together scientists undertaking world-leading interdisciplinary research in physiology and cell signalling in health and disease, the nervous system, synapses to circuits and behaviour, and the effects of drugs and medicines on these systems. Students joining Neuroscience, Physiology and Pharmacology enter this 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 disorders and the pharmacology of neurotransmitter receptors, channels and transporters in cell membranes.
