Associate Professor Timothy Bredy is head of the Cognitive Neuroepigenetics Laboratory at the Queensland Brain Institute, The University of Queensland. Dr Bredy’s research program spans the fields of epigenetics, neuroscience, and neuropsychiatry and his recent work in cognitive neuroepigenetics has been influential in understanding the molecular mechanisms of how environmental stimuli and experience translate into long-term memories, and how this is related to neuropsychiatric disorders such as phobia, PTSD and addiction..
