Many congratulations to Unit Group Leader Andrew Sharott on being awarded the title of Professor of Neuroscience by the University of Oxford.

Titles of Full Professor are conferred annually in recognition of an individual’s significant influence on their field of study, as well as their track records in teaching and academic citizenship.

Unit Director Professor Peter Magill commented “I am delighted that Andy’s numerous achievements have been recognised by the University in this way. Andy is not only an outstanding scientist, but also a conscientious mentor and brilliant team player. In combining mechanistic work in animal models with studies involving people with common brain disorders, Andy’s research is pushing back the frontiers of knowledge about how to optimally interact with the brain for therapy.  Together with other colleagues at the Unit, I offer warmest congratulations to Andy on receiving this richly deserved accolade.”
