Dr Janin Lautenschläger I am interested in neurodegenerative diseases, in particular on processes at the synapse. A very recent concept in biology is the finding that synaptic proteins can undergo phase separation, forming condensed droplets in another liquid phase (like...
Ryan Law My current research centres around the how the human brain assembles meaningful parts into more complex linguistic and conceptual structures. A focus of this work would be on better understanding this capacity within relatively natural task design...
Dr Rebecca Lawson We all have expectations about how the how the world should look, feel, smell, taste and sound. These expectations act as predictions to guide us when we are uncertain, and signal when something out of the ordinary is happening.
My work uses com...
Ms Carolina Leal I am interested in how children with cochlear implants process sounds to understand how specific aspects of their auditory processing abilities influence their listening and spoken language outcomes.
Dr Michael Lee Chronic pain is defined simply as pain that persists beyond 3 months, but in reality is a suffering marked by emotional distress and physical disability. For many patients, the extent of disease or injury does not fully account for the severity of...
Professor Máté Lengyel I study learning and memory from computational, algorithmic/representational and neurobiological viewpoints. I also maintain an active interest in the possible computational functions of neural oscillations, particularly those present in the hippo...
Dr Michela Leocadi My research focuses on studying cognitive and fMRI aspects in a cohort of "far-from-onset" individuals with Huntingtion's Disease.
Dr Victoria Leong I am a developmental cognitive neuroscientist who is interested in the interpersonal neural dynamics of mother-infant interactions. Right now, I am studying the phenomenon of oscillatory coupling or synchronisation between mother and infant brains...
Professor Jarrod Lewis-Peacock Dr Lewis-Peacock is passionate about understanding how human memory works. His research uses a combination of behavioural methods, functional neuroimaging, and computational approaches to study how people think, remember, and act. The Lewis-Peacoc...
Dr Chao Li Dr Li is a Senior Research Fellow with expertise in both clinical neuroscience and computation modelling. Dr Li is particularly interested in developing novel machine learning approaches based on imaging and multi-omics data to for personalised ma...
Rui Li In my PhD project, I am applying machine learning techniques to diagnose and predict disease progression in vascular cognitive impairment, as a result of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD). I work with both MRI and neuropsychological test data f...
Dr Yuanxi Li Research topics:
1. Cognitive flexibility, cognitive plasticity, learning
2. Novel MRI analysis methods (i.e., gradient analysis)
3. Multimodal data analysis (structural and functional MRI, MRS, gene expression, behaviour, etc.)
4. Applying AI-gu...
Yuqi Li My research interest lies at learning and memory consolidation during sleep. My PhD projects focus on sleep oscillations and how their coordination facilitate memory consolidation during NREM sleep. I use mouse model and conduct behavioural experi...
Colleen Limegrover The aim of my work is to investigate the role of glial cells in traumatic brain injury. Heterogeneity of pathology in patients with TBI creates a complex problem, in terms of modeling the disorder. Secondary injury cascades, including excitotoxici...
Dr Julie Qiaojin Lin I am a Sir Henry Wellcome Postdoctoral Fellow based at the UK Dementia Research Institute at the University of Cambridge. I am interested in understanding how localised protein synthesis at distal neuronal compartments, particularly axons, contrib...
Dr Pietro Lio' I am a Reader in Computational Biology in the Computer Laboratory which is the department of Computer Science of the University of Cambridge and I am a member of the Artificial Intelligence group of the Computer Laboratory.
I hold a PhD in Comple...
Miss Sulin Liu Small molecule drugs against Gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA) receptors are crucial pharmacological tools and therapeutics, but limited selectivity between receptor subtypes restricts their usefulness. This project aims to take advantage of the rec...
Brandon Spencer Lockey Mitochondrial DNA accumulates mutations 5-10x faster than nuclear DNA. Brandon is researching methods to reverse Mitochondrial DNA Ageing. Brandon is also President of Cambridge University Longevity Society (2022-2023).
