With the goal of progressing knowledge on brain disorders and evidence-based psychiatric therapies, the Clinical Brain Networks Group focuses on understanding how the structural and functional wiring of the brain underpin health and pathology. The lab uses a variety of neuroimaging, brain stimulation, and computational techniques. We are associated with the department of Genetics & Computational Biology at QIMR Berghofer. Our research is supported by philanthropic and government bodies including the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC).
