About
Matthew Hudson is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Neuroscience at Monash University, specializing in neuronal oscillations and their implications for neuropsychiatric and neurological disorders. His research employs in vivo electrophysiology in rodent models to study conditions like schizophrenia, depression, and epilepsy. He is actively involved in multidisciplinary projects, including the NIH-funded 'Translational platform for epilepsy therapy and biomarker discovery' and a 3D printer research initiative. Dr. Hudson holds a PhD in Neuroscience (University of Melbourne, 2018) and a Bachelor of Biomedicine with Honours (University of Melbourne, 2013). He is currently accepting PhD students and contributes to initiatives addressing global health challenges aligned with UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Education:
- PhD in Neuroscience, University of Melbourne (2018)
- Bachelor of Biomedicine (Honours), University of Melbourne (2013)
Research Interests:
Dr. Hudson’s work focuses on electrophysiological mechanisms underlying cognitive processing, with particular attention to epilepsy biomarkers, GABAergic signaling, and the role of neuronal oscillations in neuropsychiatric disorders. His research integrates advanced electrophysiology, optogenetics, and rodent behavioral models.
