NeuroQuest: Neurochemical Pharmacology & Behaviour Research Group

About our group

At NeuroQuest, we explore how brain chemistry shapes behavior, health, and disease. Our research bridges neurochemistry, pharmacology, and behavioral neuroscience to uncover the mechanisms behind neurological and psychiatric disorders.

We focus on:

  • Understanding how neurotransmitters and receptors regulate brain function.
  • Investigating drugs, natural products, toxins, and nanomaterials for their effects on behavior.
  • Developing neuroprotective and therapeutic strategies for conditions like Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, anxiety, and age-related cognitive decline.

Vision

NeuroQuest envisions becoming a leading hub of innovation and discovery at the interface of neurochemistry, pharmacology, and behavioral sciences. Our mission is to unravel the complex neurochemical mechanisms underlying brain function and dysfunction, and to pioneer transformative therapeutic strategies that improve mental health, neurological well-being, and quality of life. By integrating advanced pharmacological approaches with behavioral neuroscience, we aim to foster breakthroughs in understanding brain disorders and to translate research into impactful solutions for society.

Mission

The mission of NeuroQuest: Neurochemical Pharmacology & Behaviour Research Group is to advance scientific understanding of the intricate relationships between neurochemistry, pharmacology, and behaviour. We are committed to exploring how neurochemical processes influence mental health, neurological disorders, and behavioural outcomes, while developing innovative pharmacological and nanomedicine-based interventions. Through interdisciplinary research, collaborative partnerships, and the integration of cutting-edge experimental and translational approaches, NeuroQuest strives to:

Our ultimate goal is to translate scientific discoveries into meaningful strategies that enhance mental well-being and improve quality of life for individuals and communities worldwide.
