Work with us
Join a team at the frontier of genetic epilepsy research.
Our lab combines expertise in non-coding RNA biology, in vivo electrophysiology and computational behaviour analysis to understand and ultimately treat genetic epilepsies, with a particular focus on CDKL5 deficiency disorder.
For prospective lab members
We welcome enquiries from:
- PhD students — seeking a challenging, well-supported research project
- Postdoctoral researchers — ready to lead independent, high-impact work
- Visiting scientists — looking for a collaborative stay in a dynamic research environment
Undergraduate and medical students at RCSI can join us through the Student Selected Projects (SSP) programme or the FutureNeuro summer internship scheme.
To apply, please email a CV and a short note describing what you would like to work on.
For industry and pharma partners
Accelerating treatments for rare and genetic epilepsies — together.
We partner with pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies developing therapeutics for rare diseases, offering a translational platform to test and validate compounds in disease-relevant models.
What we offer:
- Preclinical evaluation of small molecules and repurposed drugs
- Functional assessment using in vivo electrophysiology
- Behavioural phenotyping powered by computational analysis
- Access to well-characterised genetic epilepsy models and rare disease expertise
Whether you are exploring a new chemical entity or seeking a second life for an existing drug, we would like to hear from you.
For partnership enquiries, email us to discuss how we can work together.
