The aim of the Institute of Neuroscience and Psychology (INP) is to link molecular discoveries to cells, cells to animal and human models and on to the clinic. To achieve this, we have integrated neuroscience and psychology research within four centres of excellence. The interests of these centres overlap and complement each other, allowing us to take advantage of contemporary research funding opportunities that are systems-oriented with a focus on interdisciplinary and translational programmes. Our expertise thus tracks from molecules, to cells, to organs, to organisms and then through to the clinic and human behaviour, disease and treatment.
