Dr John O'Brien CBiol FSB Working on the application of improving biolistic delivery of getting DNA or fluorescent dyes into live cells. Biolistic transfection is proving an increasingly popular method of incorporating DNA or dyes into cells that are difficult to transfect...
Professor John T O'Brien My research interests include the role of biomarkers, especially MRI, SPECT and PET imaging, in the differential and early diagnosis of dementia, including identifying those 'at risk' of future cognitive decline and developing markers of onset and...
Dr Cahir O'Kane We are interested in the basic biology of axonal ER, and its relevance to neurodegenerative disease, using Drosophila as a model. Axonal ER forms a continuous tubular network throughout the neuron, comparable to a “neuron within a neuron”, potenti...
Dr Timothy O'Leary How do nervous systems adapt and repair themselves? How do they exhibit coherent function in spite of variable underlying properties? I study these questions using theory, computational models and experiments.
For example, it is well known that n...
Dr John O'Neill The causes and consequences of cellular circadian timekeeping and its interaction with sleep.
Professor Stephen O'Rahilly FRS FMedSci My research has been concerned with the elucidation of the basic causes of obesity and Type 2 diabetes at a molecular level and the translation of those discoveries into improved diagnosis and therapy for patients. My work has uncovered several p...
Dr Amy Orben Amy’s research uses large-scale data to examine how digital technologies affect adolescent psychological well-being and mental health. She uses innovative and rigorous statistical methodology to shed new light on pressing questions debated in poli...
Dr Andrew Osborne My research interest lies in how stem cells offer neuroprotection to retinal ganglion cells with particular interest to how secreted factors prevent visual loss.
My project focuses on how platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) can reduce retinal d...
Dr Christopher Osuafor I am a British Heart Foundation Cambridge Centre for Research Excellence Clinical Research Fellow and Honorary Specialist Registrar in Geriatrics and Stroke Medicine at Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge. My research, the Cambridge 7T Cerebral Smal...
Miss Zeynep Öztürk I am a first year PhD student and my project is for understanding endoplasmic reticulum (ER) organization and roles of this existence in neurons related to neurodegeneration. ER and mitochondria are two organelles firstly became dysfunctional duri...
