Liam Browne joined the UCL Wolfson Institute to establish a lab in 2016, previously being based at Harvard Medical School with Prof. Clifford Woolf and the University of Manchester with Prof. Alan North FRS. His goal is to understand how the brain integrates and modulates information associated with pain and touch to optimise behaviour. His lab investigates brain mechanisms at a systems level using behavioural approaches, optogenetics, two-photon microscopy, machine vision and machine learning. Liam was awarded a Marie Curie Fellowship from the European Commission, and a Sir Henry Dale Fellowship from the Wellcome Trust and the Royal Society.
