Biography

Dr Gareth Morris completed his PhD, studying network oscillations, in epilepsy in 2014 (University of Birmingham). He has held postdoc positions at the UCL Institute of Neurology and the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland. He was awarded a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions Individual Fellowship to study microRNAs in epilepsy and then, in 2021, he was awarded an Epilepsy Research UK Fellowship to develop a novel therapeutic approach for epilepsy using gene therapy. In 2023, Dr Morris joined the University of Manchester as a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) and has since established an independent research lab, primarily focused on advanced therapeutics for epilepsy.
