Study with Jeff Dalley from the University of Cambridge
Brain Dysfunction Psychology
Prof. Dr. Jeff Dalley
Programme Background
In recent years, advances in neuroscience, psychiatry, and biomedical science have significantly reshaped our understanding of human health and disease. Public health is no longer solely focused on population-level interventions but is increasingly integrating insights from brain science, behavior, and individual variability.
Precision medicine represents a transformative approach that tailors prevention and treatment strategies based on individual biological, psychological, and environmental differences. In particular, research in behavioural and cognitive neuroscience has highlighted how brain function, neurochemistry, and behavior influence susceptibility to a range of disorders, including mental health conditions and neurodegenerative diseases.
Conditions such as schizophrenia, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), Parkinson’s disease, and substance addiction pose major challenges to global public health systems. Understanding their underlying neural mechanisms and translating scientific discoveries into clinical applications are key priorities in modern medicine.
This programme introduces students to the intersection of public health, neuroscience, and precision medicine. Under expert guidance, students will explore how advances in brain science contribute to more targeted, effective, and personalized healthcare solutions.

Programme Description
In this programme, students will study the core principles of public health alongside emerging approaches in precision medicine, with a particular focus on neuroscience and mental health. The course integrates knowledge from behavioural science, pharmacology, and clinical research.
Students will engage with real-world case studies and current research, developing an understanding of how scientific advances inform healthcare policy and clinical decision-making.
At the end of the programme, students will complete a research project focused on a public health or neuroscience-related issue, applying interdisciplinary knowledge to propose evidence-based solutions.
Suggested Future Research Fields:
- Neurobiological basis of psychiatric disorders
- Precision medicine approaches in mental health treatment
- Behavioural neuroscience and decision-making
- Pharmacological interventions for neurological diseases
- Public health strategies for addiction and mental health disorders
Who can join the programme?
- High school students
- University students
- Students interested in neuroscience, psychology, medicine, public health, or related fields

Published Research Paper Option
Once students have completed the final draft of their papers, they may choose to submit their work to international academic journals indexed by CPCI or EI. We provide guidance and support throughout the submission process for these indexed publications.
The publication fee is £690 per research article, as determined by the journal. Once an article is accepted, it typically becomes searchable on Google and on the journal’s platform approximately seven months after the publication offer is made.
