David Attwell studied physics in Oxford, and then did a PhD in neuroscience with Julian Jack. After a post-doc in Berkeley studying the retina with Frank Werblin, he came to UCL.
The Attwell lab is interested in signalling between neurons, glial cells (microglia, oligodendrocytes and astrocytes) and the vasculature, and in how the brain’s energy supply is controlled and determines the computational power of the brain.
