Ion channels and diseases

Dr. Petrou is a CI in the Australian Mouse Brain Mapping Consortium (AMBMC) which aims to provide researchers with access to a national facility to characterise their mouse models of neurological disease. The AMBMC will use state-of-the-art imaging, computational anatomy and image analysis to enable multi-dimensional statistical comparisons of brain anatomy between the mouse model and background strain.

 Dr. Kay Richards is the lead investigator from our lab and she works collaboratively with other members of the consortium to build multi-modal maps of mouse brains from control strains and from our epilepsy mutant models.
