  • Dr Rosemary Abbott
    I am currently researching the life-course antecedents of positive functioning using data from the 1946 British birth cohort study. I am also involved in research on the Cambridge City over 75 cohort (CC75C) where I have used Item Response Theory...
  • Sanja Abbott Dr Sanja Abbott
    My main interests are in the development of neuropsychological paradigms for fMRI and new fMRI analysis methods and applications.
  • Anthony Absalom Dr Anthony Absalom
    I am part of a group of investigators who are interested in mechanisms of anaesthetic and sedative drug action, and also consciousness itself. Our group comprises anaesthetists, neuroscientists, a signal processing engineer and experimental psycho...
  • Julio Acosta-Cabronero Dr Julio Acosta-Cabronero
    My main research interests are in diffusion-tensor imaging (DTI), fibre tractography, tract-based spatial statistics (TBSS) and voxel-based morphometry (VBM) to identify white- (WM) and grey-matter (GM) abnormalities that could be used as markers ...
  • Kadia Acres Miss Kadia Acres
    I investigate object processing as it is instantiated in the brain. Our current research asks how conceptual and perceptual factors influence the way that real-world objects are represented in the ventral object processing stream. We use fMRI t...
  • Richard Adams 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...
  • fardad Afshari Mr Fardad Afshari
    I am interested in use of cellular strategies in repairing spinal cord injury.One of the techniques used in repairing spinal cord injury is grafting cells at the site of injury or use of biomaterial seeded with cells capable of improving CNS axona...
  • Mr Michalis Agathocleous
    During neural development cells must initially expand their numbers and subsequently exit the cell cycle at the appropriate time and differentiate into one of multiple cell types. How does a cell decide between a dividing and a non-dividing fate, ...
  • Carmen Agustin-Pavon Dr Carmen Agustin-Pavon
    Neural and neurochemical basis of emotional behaviour
  • Dr Alaa Ahmed
    My primary research goal is to explore the biomechanical and sensorimotor processes underlying movement control and decision-making. I am particularly interested in the effects of sensorimotor noise, environmental uncertainty and risk on human beh...
  • Franklin  Aigbirhio 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...
  • Mike Aitken 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...
  • Miss Samaher AlAhmed
    Investigation of neurogenesis in the adult dentate gyrus and effect of corticosteroid hormone levels and its effect on the action of SSRI.
  • Josef Alawneh 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...
  • Jose Ignacio Alcantara Dr Jose Ignacio Alcantara
    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 ...
  • Miss Laura Allan
    The aim of my project is to investigate the pathological mechanism(s) of Alzheimer’s Disease with particular reference to the amyloid β-peptide (Aβ1-42) in neurotoxicity. Using my in vitro model systems of mixed primary hippocampal neurons and gli...
  • Miss Ana Almeida
    Study the role of Id3 post-translational modifications in cell cycle regulation and cell fate determination, using Xenopus Laevis as a model system.
  • Jane Anderson 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 Melissa Andrews
    My research focuses on enhancing the regeneration of dorsal root axons by overexpression of an integrin that is downregulated in adulthood, as well as after injury. The overexpression of this integrin has been successful in promoting dorsal root ...
  • Richard Ansorge 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.
  • Mr Sergio Arana
    My research uses the imaging genetics approach to better understand medial temporal lobe processes involved in associative learning and episodic memory. Genes associated with schizophrenia, the hippocampus, and memory function are investigated wi...
  • Robert Arnold Mr Robert Arnold
    I apply established and novel neuropsychological tests to patients who have principally a slight cognitive impairment and assist in the analysis of the results. The aim of these studies is early differentiation and diagnosis of developing dementias.
  • Dr Mercedes Arroyo
    BCNI administrator
  • Mr Tom Ash
    My main research focuses on the use of statistical classifiers for the analysis of MRI data. So far, I have been applying these classifiers mainly to fMRI and spectroscopy data. The uses include quality assurance (detection, characterization and...
  • Topun Austin Dr Topun Austin
    My current post is a combined clinical and academic appointment with NIHR funding from the Cambridge Biomedical Research Centre. My main research interest is in peinatal brian injury and in the development of systems to identify vulnerable infants...
