Pitceathly Research Group
Our laboratory focuses on three major research themes that crosscut mitochondrial biology and translational science.

Neural Circuits Movement Laboratory
We aim to understand how the brain and spinal cord work together to ensure that the intended movement accomplishes the task at hand.

Sleigh Group
The Sleigh Lab works to understand mechanisms underlying hereditary peripheral nerve conditions.

The Neurogenetics Lab (Houlden Group)
We focus on neurodegeneration, peripheral nerve disease, ataxias, and movement disorders, using a combination of genetic, functional cell biology, and neuropathological methods.

The Graham Watts Laboratories for Research into Motor Neuron Disorders
The research undertaken in our labs is focused on disorders that affect the neuromuscular system.

The Molecular NeuroPathobiology Laboratory
The research programme is focussed on proving the hypothesis that impairment of the selectivity and/or efficiency of long-range communication in neurons.

Long Read Sequencing Facility
A collaboration between Department of Neuromuscular Diseases, UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology and UK Dementia Research Institute at UCL.
