Dr Mark Graham
Group Leader, Children's Medical Research Institute
Dr Graham’s overall aim is to understand the molecular basis of brain function and neurological diseases. In particular, his group is focusing on proteins involved in synaptic transmission, how they interact, mapping cellular signalling events triggered by neuronal activity and identifying regulatory mechanisms that could potentially be exploited by therapeutics to treat diseases of synaptic transmission, e.g. epilepsy, autism, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder.
The Synapse Proteomics group uses cutting edge technology and basic biochemical and molecular biology techniques. In particular, Dr Graham studies phosphorylation-based cellular signalling as means to determine critical cellular pathways and biomarkers. Screens are followed by biochemical analysis and functional assays to discover new mechanisms and their consequences for synaptic plasticity and neurological diseases.
