Research Profile

My project aims to validate and explore the potential for rTMS as a method of treatment for treatment resistant depression using computer simulation, MRI analyses and biochemical assays. Specifically I firstly aim to obtain in-depth information on brain changes induced by LI-rTMS and its potential for treatment of TRD by conducting MRI analyses on animal models.

Secondly, I will quantify the effect LI-rTMS has on depression through biochemical assays and modelling influenced molecular pathways. Thirdly, I will investigate the short and long term stimulatory effects and neuroplasticity induced by rTMS electrical fields in the brain using FEM and single cell computer simulations separately and in combination in a global brain model. Finally, I also aim to develop new LI-rTMS device components based on the modelling outcomes.
