Our People
Research Interests:The broad research aim is to understand motor control and its disorders in humans, using both normal volunteers and selected patients with well-characterised abnormalities. One major theme is the role of vestibular reflexes in motor control as well as their diagnostic role, a second is understanding the causes of postural instability in neurological disease such as Parkinson's...
Associate Professor Antony Cooper is Head of both the Neurodegeneration & Neurogenomics Program and Neuroscience Division at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research.
Research Interests
Our main focus is to identify the underlying disease mechanism(s) of Parkinson’s Disease so as to identify and develop Neuroprotective therapies, especially those to slow/stop disease progression. Intensive...
Biography
I am an applied mathematician. I use dynamical systems analyses, stochastic modelling and queueing theory, amongst other techniques to answer questions arising from fields other than mathematics. My research is in the application of mathematics in the areas of biomedicine and biology. The investigations in which I am currently involved range from understanding the dynamics of...
Research Interests:
1. Modelling neurocognitive and brain changes based on chronic conditions such as HIV infection, Hepatitis C infection, aging and cardio-vascular diseases in HIV infection. Using combination of neuropsychological and neuroimaging methods to improve our understanding of neurocognitive deterioration, but also neurocognitive improvement including compensatory strategies, and...

Field: Biomedical Engineering
Research interests
I use computer simulations to understand how nerves and muscles respond to electric stimulation
Interest in engineering
Why did you get into engineering?
I loved maths and physics in high school, and wanted to use these skills in a practical, applied way to benefit society
What are your research goals?
To use computer models to understand the response of excitable body...
Research Interests: My research group uses sophisticated tools in biochemistry and molecular and cellular biology to investigate the control of physiology and pathology by small molecule metabolites, particularly lipid signalling metabolites. The powerful influence of lipid signalling molecules over our physiology is immediately evident in the fact that several of the most successful...
