Human Brain Health

Workshop leader: Dr Andrew Bagshaw

This workshop will develop plans for a Centre for Human Brain Health at the University of Birmingham. This represents an opportunity to combine the considerable and varied expertise in brain science across the University and in the local area. The Centre will bring together researchers in the colleges of Life and Environmental Sciences (LES), Medical and Dental Sciences (MDS), Engineering and Physical Sciences (EPS) and Social Sciences (CoSS) with clinicians from the Queen Elizabeth Hospital and the Barberry National Centre for Mental Health to create a coherent and inclusive presence in brain science.

The workshop will investigate how the Centre might be structured, identifying core themes that the work of the Centre could be organised into, and the mechanisms, equipment and facilities that will be needed to encourage collaborations and large scale grant capture in this area.
