Impact Story

Potential Supervision Topics

• Dr Green's research aims to discover new pharmacological treatments for illnesses of the brain where existing medications are lacking in efficacy. Examples of topics for potential Higher Degree Research students include (not limited to):
  
  • Examining effects of phytochemicals derived from natural sources (eg cannabis / hemp, fruits / berries) on the brain and behaviour (and the underlying mechanisms of benefits/harms)
  • Investigating the role of gut microbiota on brain function / illness (and underlying mechanisms)
  • Understanding the pathogenesis of cognitive dysfunction during brain illness
  Preclinical (cell and rodent models) and clinical research programs available.
