WykesNeuroLab
We develop and apply innovative neuroscience technologies, including wide bandwidth electrophysiology, multi-modal imaging, neuromodulation and gene therapy
About
WykesNeuroLab is comprised of two research laboratories based in the United Kingdom. One within the Department of Clinical and Experimental Epilepsy at the UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology; the other in the Division of Neuroscience (affiliated with the Centre for Nanotechnology in Medicine), The University of Manchester.
Our research can be broadly broken down into 2 research categories:
1. Gene therapy approaches to treat drug-refractory forms of epilepsy.
2. Development and application of novel imaging and electrophysiological approaches to detect seizure activity and spreading depolarisations in preclinical models of epilepsy, migraine, glioblastoma and stroke.
A recent focus is application of implantable Graphene-based transistor arrays to investigate and map pathological brain activity.
