The Henry Wellcome Laboratories for Integrative Neuroscience and Endocrinology (formally the University Research Centre for Neuroendocrinology (URCN)) is a multi-disciplinary research centre with interests from the most basic molecular biology to clinical endocrinology.

Our research:

• Molecular mechanisms of hypothalamic and pituitary function
• Neuropeptides in the central and peripheral nervous systems
• Viral and synthetic vectors for gene transfer and gene therapy
• Heat shock proteins and neuroprotection
• Signal transduction mechanisms
• Growth hormone receptor function
• Neuroendocrine responses to stress and disease
• Neuroendocrine interactions with the immune system
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Thyroid and pancreatic cell islet cell autoimmunity
• Clinical endocrinology and neuroendocrinology
