Peter Moult

Dr Peter Moult is a Lecturer in the School of Psychology & Neuroscience at the University of Glasgow, part of the College of Medical, Veterinary & Life Sciences. His research focuses on synaptic plasticity, neuromodulation, and neuromuscular aging, with applications to spinal cord injury and neurodegenerative disorders. He employs techniques such as electrophysiology and immunocytochemistry to investigate neuronal networks and their modulation. Dr. Moult is also actively involved in educational innovation, including curriculum design and widening participation initiatives in higher education. He holds a Research Fellowship with the Higher Education Academy and serves as a reviewer for journals like PLoS One, Nature Communications, and Neuropharmacology.

His research interests span cellular mechanisms of synaptic plasticity, mitochondrial dysfunction in neurological contexts, and the role of leptin in regulating synaptic function. He has contributed to over 18 peer-reviewed publications since 2002, with recent work emphasizing translational applications of basic neuroscience findings.

Teaching focuses on neuroscience and biological sciences, with a particular emphasis on integrating technology into learning environments to enhance engagement and accessibility. Collaborative projects, such as the Honours Project in Life Sciences, reflect his commitment to modern, inclusive pedagogical approaches.
