Bryce Vissel

Professor Bryce Vissel leads research in neurodegenerative diseases at UNSW Sydney, focusing on Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and spinal disorders. His work spans molecular mechanisms of neurodegeneration, neural basis of learning/memory, and movement disorders.

Vissel has critically examined amyloid-targeting therapies and mouse models in Alzheimer's research. His group investigates AMPA receptor editing, microglial activation, and neuroinflammation in disease pathogenesis.

His lab utilizes diverse models including 6-OHDA lesioned mice and hAPP-J20 Alzheimer's models. Research outputs contribute to understanding glutamate excitotoxicity, TNF signaling, and neuroprotective strategies.
