  • Susan Gathercole Professor Susan Gathercole
    I am the Honorary Director of the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit. My background is in cognitive psychology, and for the past 30 years I have been interested in how cognitive systems can become impaired in developmental disorders and, increa...
  • Christos Genakos Dr Christos Genakos
    My core neuroscience interests are in consumer and firm responses and behaviour in different product markets. How consumers behave in different competitive environments? How firms adopt their strategies to gain an advantage? Do consumers actions m...
  • Zoubin Ghahramani Professor Zoubin Ghahramani
    My current research interests include Bayesian approaches to machine learning, artificial intelligence, statistics, information retrieval, bioinformatics, and computational motor control. Statistics provides the mathematical foundations for handli...
  • Maria Giannakou Dr Maria Giannakou
    Alzheimer's disease is the most common disease caused by protein aggregation. The major neuropathological characteristics of AD are extracellular plaques of a peptide called amyloid beta and intracellular tangles of hyperphosphorylated tau protein...
  • Jonathan Gillard Professor Jonathan Gillard
    Development of novel Magnetic Resonance imaging tools assessing atheromatous plaque inflammation and stress analysis. Development of MRI and PET tools for delineating microscopic brain tumour infiltration in man.
  • Dino Giussani Dr Dino Giussani
    We have intertwined our interests in oxygen and the development of the central nervous and cardiovascular systems to propose that oxidative stress underlies the common molecular pathway via which prenatal hypoxia contributes to a developmental ori...
  • Dervila Glynn Dr Dervila Glynn
    I have recently been appointed as the Cambridge Neuroscience Coordinator. If you have any neuroscience related news that you would like to publicise on the website, please let me know. My research is focused on understanding the mechanisms underl...
  • Michel Goedert Dr Michel Goedert
    Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease are characterized by the presence of abnormal filamentous assemblies within some nerve cells. Similar assemblies are found in related disorders, including progressive supranuclear palsy, dementia with Le...
  • Ian  Goodyer Professor Ian Goodyer
    I am a Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist based at Cambridge University pursuing research into the connections between human development and psychopathology. My studies are centred on adolescents in the community as well as current patients. Our re...
  • Anjali Goswami Dr Anjali Goswami
    My research focuses on cranial evolution and development in mammals. In particular, I am interested in developmental interactions that drive morphological variation and morphological diversity on palaeontological time scales. I use quantitative ...
  • Usha Goswami Professor Usha Goswami
    I am the Director of the Centre for Neuroscience in Education. The Centre uses EEG and fNIRS to explore the developing brain. Key research projects include the neural basis of developmental dyslexia, the neural basis of speech and language impairm...
  • Dr Fergus Gracey
    My research themes relate to assessment, recovery and rehabilitation following brain injury. I am especially interested in identity and emotional adjustment following acquired brain injury, self-regulation, cognitive rehabilitation and service del...
  • Seth Grant Professor Seth Grant FRSE
    The Genes to Cognition programme (G2C) established a framework for studying genes, brain and behaviour in order to link basic molecular research from genomes and experimental genetic organisms with human clinical studies of cognition. The G2C fra...
  • Ingo Greger Dr Ingo Greger
    Glutamate is the major excitatory neurotransmitter in vertebrate brains. Glutamate-gated ion channels (iGluRs) mediate the majority of fast synaptic transmission, and are key regulators of synaptic plasticity. The subunit composition of iGluRs, a...
  • Jules Griffin Dr Jules Griffin
    We have been using a range of analytical techniques, and in particular NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry, to follow metabolism in the brain in a range of disease processes. This ranges from flux measurements to understand the cycling of metab...
  • John Griffiths Professor John Griffiths
    My work involves the use and development of Magnetic Resonance methods for understanding the biology of cancer and the determination of tumour-associated MR parameters for diagnosis, prognosis and monitoring of therapy.
  • Jochen Guck Dr Jochen Guck
    The paradigm that neurons in the CNS cannot regenerate is gone. While most research to date is biochemical, there are also physical aspects that need to be considered. We are developing tools to investigate axonal growth and to direct in a certain...
