In developing novel magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methods of acquisition and analysis to elucidate the mechanisms underlying neurodegeneration in very early dementia.
Dr Richard Adams
My group is interested in the mechanisms of morphogenesis that shape the early central nervous system. Using zebrafish as a developmental model, we image the movements of many hundreds of cells using time-lapse micoscopy. Applying methods of image...
Mr Dwaipayan Adhya
Autism is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder. Studies have shown that it affects more males than females. Prenatal exposure to sex steroids, especially, testosterone have been shown to be related to development of autism. Epigenetic changes hav...
Dr Fardad Afshari
I am interested in studying astrocyte biology in the context of gliosis following CNS injury and tumour cell invasion.- Dr Michalis Agathocleous
I am interested in the mechanisms of cell and tissue growth. We previously investigated developmental signals that regulate retinal growth, and found that Hedgehog signaling causes retinal cells to proliferate faster, but then to exit the cell cyc... 
Dr Franklin Aigbirhio
Research in the development and application of molecular imaging probes, in particular for the in vivo imaging technique of positron emission tomography. Objectives are to design, develop and apply imaging probes that are specific and selective to...
Dr Mike Aitken
My research interests include human associative learning, and the role of this learning in intuitive and reflective decision-making systems. Much of my research has involved causal and categorical judgments, with more recent work looking at mechan...
Dr Josef Alawneh
I am a PhD student in the stroke team. I am interested in neurological deterioration following stroke and the correlation between neurological scores and neuroimaging findings. I will be using CT, CT perfusion imaging, MRI and PET in my studies. M...
Dr José Ignacio Alcántara
I am a founding member of the Laboratory for Autism Research (LaRA) and co-investigator in the Laboratory of Auditory Perception. My research interests include the mechanisms underlying the psychoacoustic abilities of normal and hearing-impaired ...
Dr Sian Alexander DPhil MRCP
My research interest is in cognition and acquired disorders of cognition – memory, language and behaviour. During my DPhil (http://oxion.dpag.ox.ac.uk/) with Angela Vincent and Ole Paulsen, I investigated the aetiology of acquired memory deficit...
Aaron Alexander-Bloch
Network analysis of neuroimaging data, focusing on neuropsychiatric disease and typical brain development.
Dr Clara Alfaro Cervelló
I am investigating novel nanotherapeutics for gene silencing in spinal cord injuries.- Dr Xana Almeida
During neural development the proper number of each specific cell type must be generated at the correct time and place. Thus, a precise balance between cell division, cell survival, cell cycle exit and differentiation must be achieved. However, th... - Dr Johan Alsiö
My main research interest is the cognitive control over behaviour in health and disease. I am currently studying the neurobiological basis of cognitive flexibility in the intact brain and in preclinical models of schizophrenia. 
Ellemarije Altena PhD
My main interest focuses on how executive functions are affected by disease and treatment, in particular in Parkinson's disease and sleep disorders. Through functional MRI, paper-and-pencil and computer-based executive tests, I currently investiga...
Joao Nuno Alves
Chondroitinase is a promising candidate for the treatment of human spinal cord injury (SCI). It is a bacterial enzyme that cleaves glycosaminoglycan (GAG) chains from chondroitin sulphate proteoglycans, which present a major barrier to nerve regen...
Jamie Anderson BSc (Hons) MA (Urban Design)
The PhD seeks to investigate the influence of outdoor neighbourhood spaces on positive mental health. It is proposed that a variety of outdoor space typologies i.e. allotments, children's play, cemeteries, piazzas, amenity green space, natural gre...
Dr Jane M Anderson
Axonal loss is the principal pathological correlate of progressive irreversible disability in multiple sclerosis. The underlying pathophysiology of axonal loss however remains to be defined. Against this backdrop, my research focuses on exploring ...
Dr Michael Anderson
Dr. Anderson focuses on fundamental mechanisms of memory, attention, and cognitive control, and their interaction. A central observation is that memory, like other aspects of cognition and behaviour, poses problems of control. Dr. Anderson uses ...
Dr Therese Andersson
The development of the neocortex is controlled at several levels; e.g secreted factors like FGF8, transcription factors like Pax 6 as well as non-coding RNAs such as miRNAs miR124. I’ve primarily been exploring the role of Dicer and miRNAs in neur...- Dr Melissa Andrews
My research focuses on assessing the localization and transport of ectopically expressed integrins in adult CNS, in order to better target integrins to sites of injury for therapeutic treatment. We have shown that enhancing the regeneration of do... 
Dr Oleg Anichtchik
I am trying to answer the question whether an aggregation of neurodegeneration-related proteins such as alpha-synuclein causes synaptic dysfunction in animal models of alpha-synucleinopathies and in the human brain.
Tiina Annus
I am working with Prof Tony Holland and Dr Shahid Zaman on a case-controlled, longitudinal project investigating the role of brain fibrillar beta-amyloid in cognition, brain atrophy and Alzheimer's disease in adults with Down Syndrome, using 11C...
Dr Richard Ansorge
My current interests include hardware and software development for various medical imaging modalities, especially PET and MRI. This work is done in close collaboration with the Wolfson Brain Imaging Centre. One particular current project is the d...- Chrystalina Antoniades
My work focuses on developing biomarkers for the disorders of Parkinson's and Huntington's. I am using two different approches: saccadic eye movements and metabonomics. 
Dr Annemieke Apergis-Schoute
I study how humans acquire emotions, in particular fear, and most importantly how to extinguish negative memories or how to have control over negative states. I did my PhD at New York University where I studied with Professor Joseph LeDoux & Profe...- Dr John Apergis-Schoute
The psychological link between appetite and emotions is clear. Often enough food consumption is powerfully influenced by emotional cues that are unrelated to energy requirements. As the amygdala and hypothalamus, two neural regions that code for a... 
Mr Robert Arnold
