The group, established in 2010, serves to facilitate the joining up of multi and inter-disciplinary groups of researchers, educators, and others across Merseyside and the Liverpool City Region who share a passion for neuroscience.

The aim of the network is to foster discussion and collaboration across institutions and disciplines, with the objective of enhancing the understanding of the nervous system in health and disease for the public good.

As the local group of the British Neuroscience Association it connects Liverpool to the wider neuroscience research community across the UK, and Internationally.

Dr Thai said: “I am delighted to have been invited to become a member of the Liverpool Neuroscience Group.

“Collaboration is key to building on the strength of the local network to translate discoveries to benefit the health of our local population, and I am excited about working with a group of researchers and educators who share that vision.”

Dr Thai joined LHP in 2021 to work alongside Programme Director Prof Conor Mallucci on the newly formed Neuroscience and Mental Health programme.

The programme aims to build on the strength of LHP partners to translate neuroscience discoveries into better brain health and well-being for people in Cheshire and Merseyside.
