Professor Timothy Bredy
Professor Timothy Bredy earned a PhD in Neuroscience from McGill University in 2004. Following CIHR and NSERC funded postdoctoral fellowships at UCLA, he established the Cognitive Neuroepigenetics Laboratory at the University of Queensland in 2009. He is currently the Director of the UQ Centre for RNA in Neuroscience. Research in the Bredy laboratory is focused on understanding how the genome is connected to the environment, and how this relationship shapes brain and behaviour throughout life. The group is particularly interested in neuroepigenetic mechanisms including DNA and histone modifications, as well as RNA-based mechanisms such as non-coding RNA and RNA modification, and how they regulate the formation and maintenance of neural plasticity and long-term memory.
