发现脑科学中心（CDBS）在分子，细胞，系统和行为层面进行研究，以了解与健康和疾病中的脑部和身体功能相关的基本机制和途径。CDBS研究人员利用基因组学，蛋白质组学，成像，信息学和体内分析等可利用技术的快速发展来了解基因产物在细胞，器官和整个动物水平上的功能。他们利用最合适的模型生物/系统研究高生物医学相关性（例如人，小鼠，大鼠）和高遗传力（例如秀丽隐杆线虫，果蝇或斑马鱼）之间的微妙平衡。研究重点在于了解与生命过程中人类健康和疾病功能相关的基本机制和途径。
The Centre for Discovery Brain Sciences (CDBS) carries out research at molecular, cellular, systems and behavioural levels to understand fundamental mechanisms and pathways relevant to brain and body function in health and disease.<br><br>CDBS investigators exploit rapid advances in the enabling technologies available from genomics, proteomics, imaging, informatics, and in-vivo analysis to understand the function of gene products at the cell, organ and whole-animal level. They exploit the most appropriate model organisms/systems to investigate the delicate balance between high biomedical relevance (for example human, mouse, rat) and high genetic power (such as C. elegans, drosophila or zebrafish).<br><br>Research focuses on understanding fundamental mechanisms and pathways relevant to human function in health and disease across the life course.
