These projects aim to explore the causes of Parkinson's disease, Dementia with Lewy Bodies, Alzheimer's disease, schizophrenia and tardive dyskinesia, depression as well as a number of eye diseases such as age related macular degeneration, glaucoma, retinitis pigmentosa, myopia and retinal disorders.

The individual projects will run for between three and five years.
