Professor Nigel Jones is a Professor (Research) in the Department of Neuroscience at Monash University, affiliated with the Van Cleef Centre for Nervous Diseases within the School of Translational Medicine. He leads the Jones Lab, focusing on psychiatric disorders in epilepsy, particularly exploring mechanisms linking epilepsy with conditions like schizophrenia and Alzheimer’s disease. His work contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals related to good health and well-being.
Research interests include neuroinflammation, epileptogenesis, and translational therapies targeting epilepsy and comorbidities. Notable projects include studies on calcium channel modulation, biomarker discovery for post-traumatic epilepsy, and P2X7R inhibition in glioblastoma. He has led or contributed to 18 research projects since 2017, with funding from institutions like NIH.
- Awards: Recognized for developing predictive biomarkers of epilepsy seizures (2016).
- Collaborations: International partnerships in neurology, oncology, and imaging.
- Labs/Teams: Jones Lab (focusing on epilepsy mechanisms) and collaborations with the University of Melbourne (Honorary Staff).
His publications (148+) emphasize neuroinflammation, biomarkers, and therapeutic interventions. He actively supervises PhD students and promotes interdisciplinary research in translational medicine.
