Dr Robin Cash is an NHMRC-EL2 funded senior research fellow specialising in neuroimaging and brain stimulation. His work focuses on using neuroscience research to develop personalised, precise and effective brain stimulation therapies for treatment-resistant mental health conditions. His work in this area was described as ground-breaking (TICS, 2023) and provide(ing) the foundation to move the field to an era of precision medicine (HBM, 2021). He has been awarded >4 Million in research funding in recent years. He is the director of the brain stimulation platform at the University of Melbourne.

He leads a 2.5M 5-year multisite (Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane) clinical trial of personalised brain stimulation. His research was instrumental in establishing the not-for-profit clinic Queensland Neurostimulation Centre, which is the first clinic in Australasia to offer personalised neuroimaging-guided brain stimulation therapy. His work has repeatedly tracked in the top 5% of international research outputs (Altmetric), and attracted national media attention (Channel 9 news; Guardian). He has been fortunate to supervise a number of talented students in recent years who received a range of national and international awards during their candidature. He completed his PhD at the University of Western Australia, before undertaking postdoctoral research in Frankfurt, New York and Toronto.
