Research in Dr Nolan's laboratory focuses on the effects of inflammation, exercise, alpha-synuclein and stress on hippocampal neurogenesis (the birth of new neurons) during development and in the adult brain, and on associated learning and memory. She also investigates the contribution of inflammation to neuronal demise in models of Parkinson’s disease.
Her research is currently funded by Science Foundation Ireland, Marigot Ireland Ltd, Molecular Medicine Ireland and British Neuropathological Society, and previously by the Irish Research Council for Science Engineering and Technology, Health Research Board and Vasogen Inc., Canada. Her H index is 25 and her work has been cited >2000 times. She has supervised 10 PhD/MSc/postdoctoral researchers and currently supervise 8 researchers (2 postdocs, 5 PhD and 1 MD). To date she has secured almost €2.5M in research funding as Lead/Sole Investigator and is currently an SFI Investigator.
