Professor Ismaa Sadaf Farooqi
The long-term goal of my research is to identify the genetic, molecular, and physiological pathways that regulate body weight in humans and to integrate these into an understanding of the pathophysiology of obesity.
Dr Sadaf Farooqi
Using a candidate gene approach in patients with severe, early onset obesity recruited to the Genetics Of Obesity Study (GOOS), we have identified patients with mutations in genes encoding leptin, the leptin receptor and targets of leptin action ...
Dr Giorgio Favrin
The focus of my research is to build and analyze the network of pathways associated with Alzheimer’s disease. We are currently measuring these interaction data in the yeast S. cerevisiae (baker’s yeast). We use these data, in conjunction with fr...
Professor James Fawcett
Axon regeneration in the damaged CNS: Regeneration of axons after CNS damage is blocked by several molecules, partcularly by proteoglycans in the extracellular matrix. We are developing methods to digest proteglycans, inhibit their production, and...
Dr Anne Ferguson-Smith
Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic mechanism causing genes to be expressed depending on their parental origin. Our research investigates the mechanism and evolution of genomic imprinting and the function of imprinted genes in development and dise...
Dr Emilio Fernandez-Egea
My research interests are mostly the biological and clinical aspects of chronic schizophrenia. I’m the Clozapine Clinic Lead and the Good Outcome Schizophrenia Clinic lead for the local MH Trust (Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trus...
Professor Paul Fletcher
I am interested in psychosis. I agree with the long tradition of clinical psychiatric research which suggests that, during a psychotic illness, the world is a strange place because strange associations are formed and inconsequential stimuli are as...- Dr David Franklin
I am interested in how we are able to develop models of the external world and use these to adapt our movements to new experiences. I am currently studying the adaptation of humans to novel force fields generated with a 2 degree-of-freedom robotic... 
Professor Robin Franklin
The Franklin lab is interested in the mechanisms of CNS regeneration with a particular focus on remyelination, an adult stem/precursor cell-mediated process in which new myelin sheaths are restored to demyelinated axons. Using developmental-, tran...
Dr Kristian Franze
I am mainly interested in the mechanics and optics of cells of the nervous system.
Using atomic force and confocal microscopy as well as a dual-beam IR-laser trap called 'optical stretcher' passive and active mechanical properties of nervous tissu...
Dr Tim Fryer
My research concentrates on positron emission tomography (PET) methodology, with particular emphasis on the quantitative accuracy of the physiological parameters derived from the data.
Current research themes are:
parametric mapping using b...
