Our values

The values that guide our science and our relationships with each other.

Careful science

Integrity

We are open, honest and ethical in how we conduct and communicate our work.

Robust science

We value careful, rigorous experiments. It is better to do one thing really well.

Logic

We look for the principles that explain how neurons work, and test our ideas against evidence.

Creative thinking

Resilience

We are not afraid to fail. We experiment, reach beyond boundaries and stay focused on important biological questions.

Innovation

We use creativity to explore original ideas and develop new ways to answer difficult questions.

Passion

We bring curiosity, drive and commitment to our work, and aim to engage and inspire others.

Shared purpose

Impact

We keep the effects of neurodegeneration on people and animals in mind, and work towards discoveries that can inform disease management and treatment.

Equality & diversity

Whatever our gender, background, nationality or abilities, we share a common goal: to do good science together.
