Retinal Cell Biology and Degeneration
The discovery of a novel inner retinal photoreceptor cell, driving non-visual functions, has had a significant impact on the retinal neuroscience field. My research focuses on understanding the physiology and function of these photosensitive retinal ganglion cells.
Ultra High-Field MRI Physics
We develop techniques and hardware on the Centre’s 7 Tesla MRI scanner to offer neuroscientists exciting new possibilities to image the structure, function and biochemistry of the human brain.
Oxford Respiratory Group
The Oxford Respiratory Group works collaboratively on a range of projects dedicated to Respiratory Control. Professor Pandit's group studies anaesthetic effects on oxygen sensing and also focusses on clinical research related to effects of anaesthetics on respiration and anaesthetic techniques on the lungs and airway.
Diagnostic and Advisory Service for Neuromyelitis Optica
Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is a rare disease causing inflammation in the spinal cord and optic nerves. The NMO service brings together expertise in diagnostics and clinical management to improve outcomes for this often isolated group of patients.
OxCIN Neuroplastics Network
Neuroplastics is a collaborative network of three research groups at OxCIN with a shared interest in brain plasticity. We study how the brain changes when we learn, as we get older, or when we recover from damage such as stroke. We use brain imaging to monitor brain change and we aim to develop new approaches to facilitate learning, recovery and healthy ageing.
Plasticity Group
We study how the brain changes when we learn, as we get older, or when we recover damage such as stroke. We use brain imaging to monitor brain change and we aim to develop new approaches to facilitate learning, recovery and healthy brain development and ageing.
Neurovascular Imaging
We are collaborating with clinical colleagues to develop novel MRI acquisition and analysis methods that address the wide spectrum of cerebrovascular disease.
FMRIB Neurodegeneration Group
FMRIB’s Neurodegeneration group comprises clinical and basic neuroscientists across a range of departments and disciplines with a common interest in using neuroimaging to understand normal ageing and disease processes.
Computational Neuroscience
We investigate anatomical organisation and cortical processing using computational models and techniques.
FMRI Acquisition and Reconstruction
We develop image acquisition and reconstruction techniques for functional MRI. These methods aim to provide higher spatial and temporal resolution, as well as greater sensitivity to brain activity.
Microstructural Imaging
The fine-scale structure of brain tissue is crucial to neural function and health. We are developing MRI techniques that may enable non-invasive estimates of brain microstructure.
MR Spectroscopy
We develop new ways to measure metabolically active chemicals with MRI in order to understand the dynamic chemistry of the human brain. Our particular interests are in "multi-voxel" or spectroscopic imaging, and measuring dynamically changing processes. We create new MR techniques and publish software to do this.
Multiple Sclerosis Clinical Trials Unit
The Multiple Sclerosis and Related Disorders Clinical trials unit is a hybrid unit combining the strengths and longstanding research tradition from both Oxford University and Oxford University Hospitals.
Neurodegeneration and Inflammation Research Group
We explore the neuropathology of multiple sclerosis and other inflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases using a multidisciplinary team approach to post-mortem brain and spinal cord tissue. The aim is that the understanding derived from these studies will translate into ideas for improved treatments for living patients.
Neuromuscular Disorders
We work to translate an understanding of the molecular mechanisms of disease at the neuromuscular synapse into treatments. Our work led us to be commissioned to provide a National Advisory and Diagnostic Service for congenital myasthenic syndromes.
