Dr. Tertia Purves-Tyson is a Conjoint Senior Lecturer at the University of New South Wales, specializing in Neuroscience. She has an extensive educational background with a PhD in Neuroscience from Manchester University, an MSc in Chemical Pathology, an Honours degree in Pharmacology, and a Bachelor's degree in Botany and Biochemistry, all from the University of Cape Town. Her research explores the molecular and mechanistic understanding of sex steroid signaling and neuroinflammation, examining factors contributing to striatal and cortical modulation of dopamine and related behaviors, particularly associated with psychotic-like symptoms and cognitive functions in varying age groups of male and female rats. Dr. Purves-Tyson aims to translate her findings to human studies to develop and enhance immune-related treatments based on sex steroid interactions. Current projects involve investigating the role of neuroinflammation and neurotransmitter systems in improving cognition via estrogen receptor modulation and addressing sex steroid-related dysregulation in schizophrenia. Her work on the midbrain and its association with dopamine regulation in schizophrenia has been pivotal, exploring the dysregulation of dopamine-related transcripts in the context of inflammatory conditions.
