Dr Umar Sadat
1. Magnetic resonance imaging of atherosclerotic plaques
2. Applied biomechanics of atherosclerotic plaques and other cardiovascular pathologies
3. Contrast-induced-nephropathy
4. Ischaemic Pre-conditioning in patients undergoing open and endovas...
Professor Barbara Sahakian
My research is aimed at understanding the neural basis of cognitive, emotional and behavioural dysfunction in order to develop more effective pharmacological and psychological treatments. The focus of my lab is on early detection, differential dia...
Dr Lisa Saksida
We are working toward a better understanding of the psychological processes underlying memory and perception through a programme of theoretically-driven experimental research using both healthy subjects and brain-damaged populations. Research in m...
Dr Stephen Sawcer
In our research we are attempting to identify genetic factors that influence susceptibility to multiple sclerosis or determine other aspects of the disease. Epidemiological evidence indicates that the genetic architecture underlying susceptibility...
Dr William Schafer
The fundamental nature of mental phenomena such as perception, learning and memory is one of the remaining scientific mysteries. Since the neuroanatomy of mammalian nervous systems is exceedingly complex and incompletely characterized, it is diffi...
Professor Wolfram Schultz
Please see http://www.neuroscience.cam.ac.uk/news/article.php?permalink=a8feeeff87 for details of current available positions.
Our group is interested to relate the mechanics of brain activity to measurable behaviour. We combine neurophysiological...
Dr Christof Schwiening
Electrical activity of neurones is associated with calcium influx through various channels. Most neurones extrude this calcium very rapidly on the plasma-membrane calcium pump (PMCA). Our research shows that this extrusion occurs in exchange for h...
Professor Murray Shanahan
I am primarily interested in cognitive architecture, both as it is found in Nature and as it might be realised artificially. Because I'm committed to the view that cognition and embodiment are initmately related, I also have a strong interest in r...
Dr Yury Shtyrov
My main focus is on the processing of spoken language in the brain using modern neuroimaging tools (MEG, EEG, fMRI).
This includes neural mechanisms and timecourse of language processing in the brain, from phonology to syntax and semantics. Par...
Professor Ben Simons
I am interesting in applying methods of non-equilibrium statistical mechanics and population dynamics to lineage tracing studies to investigate mechanisms of stem cell fate in development and maintenance. As well as neurogenesis in adult mammalian...
Dr Jon Simons
Our research investigates the role of brain regions such as the frontal, medial temporal, and parietal lobes in human memory.
This work involves inter-relating cognitive hypotheses with evidence from functional neuroimaging of healthy volunteers ...
Dr Peter Smielewski
In an established environment of Clinical Neuroscience Dept large quantities of data can be captured from bed-side monitors. Using that data, continuous assessment of changing cerebrovascular haemodynamics and oxygenation is possible but requires ...
Dr Ewan Smith
The main interest of the Smith lab is to understand the molecular mechanisms by which sensory neurones detect noxious stimuli, so-called nociceptors. We are particularly interested in how acid activates nociceptors in both physiological and pathop...
Dr Michael Spencer
I am interested in the scientific investigation of psychiatric disorders, particularly through the integration of clinical research methods together with brain imaging.
I led a team of researchers at the Department of Psychiatry, Cambridge, that ...
Professor Maria Grazia Spillantini
Our interest is in the identification of the mechanisms leading to neuronal death and clinical phenotype in diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and frontotemporal dementia. In particular we study the role of microtubule-assoc...- Professor Peter St George-Hyslop
My laboratory focuses upon understanding the causes and molecular mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's Disease and Fronto-Temporal Dementia. We and others have shown that these diseases are frequently c... 
Dr Emmanuel A Stamatakis
My research interests fall into two distinct categories. One involves investigating brain function/structure in a more integrative manner with structural/functional connectivity analyses. The second involves the evaluation of lesions in patients a...
Professor Karen Steel
Hearing impairment is very common in human populations, but it is a very heterogeneous disorder with a wide range of causes including environmental insults as well as genetic components. It is difficult to disentangle the causes of hearing impairm...
John Suckling
Neuroimaging is a major contributor to the renaissance of experimental psychiatry and psychology. Drawing on the extensive infrastructure of Cambridge Neuroscience and Department of Psychiatry’s close links between research and clinical practice, ...
Jillian Sullivan
My PhD study investigates the relationship between neural/physical growth trajectories and cognitive/developmental trajectories in infants and toddlers who are at risk for autism, children with autism, children with tuberous sclerosis, and those w...
Dr Denes Szucs
Szucs is a cognitive neuroscientist doing research on the representaiton of mathematics in the brain and on perceptual/motor integration and conflict detection/resolution. He is using behavioral methods, electro-physiology (EEG) and functional mag...
