Master of Research in Biomedical Research - Neuropharmacology (MRes)

Program Overview

Choose from one of our five streams including Cardiovascular Sciences, Immunology, Neurogenetics, Neuropharmacology and Inflammation and Ageing, and develop in-depth knowledge in the field of biomedical research while gaining practical experience by working with a leading research group in our renowned research laboratories.

Neuropharmacology Stream

 

Neuroscience is one of the greatest opportunities for new drug discovery and development. This stream provides an in-depth exploration of the mechanisms underlying neuropsychiatric conditions and neurotransmitter systems with the goal of understanding the challenges of developing more effective treatments and interventions.

The Neuropharmacology stream allows you to develop an appreciation of how current research into the neurotransmitter systems of the brain can further our understanding of normal brain function and dysfunction.

You’ll begin by considering some of the experimental techniques used in neuropharmacological research from the molecular to whole animal level. Then the distribution and functional relevance of the major neurotransmitters will be considered. Disorders of the nervous system, such as anxiety, depression, pain and dementia are used to illustrate how the integration of neurotransmitter action is important in normal functioning. 

Gain an appreciation for how interdisciplinary research helps us understand disease development and how dysfunction occurs. Finally, learn to recognize the complexity involved in developing new therapies within neuroscience.
