Matthew Grubb

Matthew Grubb is a Professor of Neuroscience at King's College London, affiliated with the Centre for Developmental Neurobiology and the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience. His research focuses on neuronal plasticity, particularly in the olfactory system, exploring how sensory experience shapes brain structure and function. He leads the Grubb Lab, investigating adult neurogenesis and dopaminergic neuron dynamics.

Education: PhD in Neuroscience from the University of Oxford (2004), MSc (2000), and BA (1999). Awards include the BNA Credibility Prize (2022), Wellcome Trust Fellowship (2010), and FENS-Kavli Network membership (2014–2018). He collaborates with institutions like Harvard University and the Earlham Institute.

Key projects include studying anosmia mechanisms, neuroregeneration, and activity-dependent plasticity. His lab employs electrophysiology, optogenetics, and imaging to dissect neural circuits. He delivered an inaugural lecture in 2024 ('Nosing around in the changing brain') and organizes events like the IoPPN Research Festival.
