Our Research Centres are tackling some of the major global health challenges facing our society and addressing fundamental questions about how we work to gain a better understanding of how we can treat disease and repair our bodies. Centre for Discovery Brain Sciences CDBS conducts fundamental research to understand brain and body function and how disruption and dysregulation can lead to disease. Centre for Discovery Brain Sciences Infection Medicine Our work integrates genomic science and systems biology with medicine and physical sciences, for understanding and innovating host-directed diagnosis and treatment of acquired diseases. We are committed to bringing these new approaches to the developing world. Infection Medicine Patrick Wild Centre The Centre seeks to understand the neurological basis of, and to test new therapies for, autism, Fragile X Syndrome and intellectual disabilities. Patrick Wild Centre Simons Initiative for the Developing Brain SIDB’s mission is to deliver an integrated and highly collaborative centre which will aim to discover biological mechanisms underlying autism and to use this information to deliver rational therapeutic interventions. Simons Initiative for the Developing Brain Affiliated Institutes and Centres with Biomedical Sciences We contribute to interdisciplinary research with the following Institutes and Centres; Edinburgh Infectious Diseases Edinburgh Infectious Diseases is a network of Infectious Disease scientists in Edinburgh, working to maximise synergy within research, teaching and public engagement. Edinburgh Infectious Diseases Edinburgh Neuroscience Edinburgh Neuroscience seeks to integrate basic and clinical research in order to drive the fundamental genetic, cellular, organ, systems and computational neuroscience underpinning pathogenesis into mechanistic understanding, future diagnostics and therapeutics of important diseases of the nervous system. Edinburgh Neuroscience Muir Maxwell Epilepsy Centre The Muir Maxwell Epilepsy Centre aims to investigate the causes of childhood epilepsy and to develop new treatments and public health strategies. Muir Maxwell Epilepsy Centre Pharmacology, Toxicology and Therapeutics The major research interests of the Unit are of the cardiovascular system in cardiovascular disease, and clinical toxicology. Pharmacology, Toxicology and Therapeutics UK Dementia Research Institute - Edinburgh The UK DRI at The University of Edinburgh will broaden out the traditional view of neurodegenerative disease as a disorder of misfolded proteins to encompass the multicellular environment surrounding degenerating neurons.
