THE BOWEN LAB
Our mission is to better understand and treat disorders of the brain and mind. To achieve this, we conduct world-class research and partner across academia, industry and government to ensure our work has impact.
About Us
At the Bowen Lab we use gold-standard preclinical models, cutting edge neuroscience techniques, and machine learning to discover and develop novel pharmacological treatments for disorders of the brain and mind. We are particularly interested in small molecule therapeutics for substance use disorders and disorders that feature social impairments as a core symptom. We are driven by impact and have a strong track record of commercialisation and taking novel compounds from discovery stage research into the clinic.
​
We have a growing team comprising of Lab Director Michael Bowen, four postdoctoral researchers, six PhD students, one MPhil student, and two research assistants. We have a rich network of national and international collaborations and partnerships that span industry, governments, and academia. Our team is located at the Brain and Mind Centre at the University of Sydney where we have dedicated facilities for preclinical disease modelling, biological sample processing and analysis, microscopy, and imaging.
