About us
We carry out high quality research into the function of the nervous system in health and disease. We have a multidisciplinary workforce of close to 500 people, mostly based at the John Radcliffe Hospital, but also spread across the University of Oxford. We are an integrated part of the broader neuroscience community across Oxford, with many links to other departments. Many of our scientists are also practising clinicians and provide general and specialist care through the Oxford University Hospitals Foundation NHS Trust. Through our DPhil (PhD) programme, and our very strong group of early career researchers we play an important role in developing the careers of young scientists. We build on a long history of research in neurology, brain imaging, eye disorders, and anaesthetics in Oxford which has made major contributions to our understanding of how the brain works and to the development of treatments which have changed lives. Major discoveries made by our scientists include the discovery of a type of cell in the eye which helps regulate our body clock, new techniques to image the human brain, devices to make anaesthesia safer, methods to prevent vascular diseases of the brain including stroke and forms of dementia, understanding and treating chronic pain, pioneering treatments such as gene therapy for inherited eye disorders, and the diagnosis and treatment of immunological disorders of the nervous system.

Happy to introduce Ruxandra Dafinca this week, from the Talbot Group. Ruxandra is a Brain Science Fellow, investigating mitochondrial and synaptic dysfunction in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis iPS-derived neurons. Ruxandra is leading a research programme that aims to determine the protein interactions and intracellular pathways that drive dysfunctional synaptic transmission in ALS/FTD neurons, using a combination of functional imaging, optogenetic tools, transcriptomics and spatial proteomics. At the cellular level, proteins operate at specific times and within particular subcellular locations (organelles). These environments offer the distinct chemical conditions and interaction partners required to perform their functions. When proteins are mislocalized, it can lead to cellular dysfunction and contribute to disease. Using novel tools in spatial proteomics at the intracellular level, Ruxandra is analysing the perturbations of protein dynamics that occur in the presence of genetic mutations associated with ALS/FTD in motor and cortical neurons derived from patients. In her research programme, Ruxandra generates neurons from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) derived from patients’ skin cells and studies the protein distribution by subcellular fractionation, mass-spectrometry and analysis. Her group uses a wide range of techniques to study downstream functional aspects of synaptic communication, which include electrophysiological studies (microelectrode arrays), live imaging of synaptic vesicle dynamics and activity assays, with the ultimate goal of identifying new therapeutic targets for the treatment of #ALS.

Congratulations to Dr Bo Sun, who has been awarded the Future Leaders grant by The Brain Tumour Charity. Bo's research will focus on developing a way to use T-cell receptors, a type of immune cell, to detect and predict the regrowth of diffuse gliomas, a form of brain tumour originating from glial cells, following treatment.
