Dr Cathryn Ugalde Identification of pathways that may be targeted for the therapeutic treatment of neurodegeneration
Dr Ben Underwood MA MBBS PhD FRCPsych CertMedEd I am a consultant old age psychiatrist in Cambridge. I am interested in novel therapeutic approaches in dementia, particularly Alzheimer's disease and Huntington's disease. I completed my PhD with David Rubinsztein looking at autophagy up-regula...
Dr Nigel Unwin I am interested in finding out how ion channels work, using electron microscopy to analyse their structures trapped in different physiological states. Current research focuses on the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, the transmitter-gated ion chan...
Dr Delshad Vaghari I am a post-doctoral research associate at the Adaptive Brain Lab (Prof Zoe Kourtzi's Lab). My primary interest concerns how to leverage the use of machine learning to study neurodegenerative diseases. I use neuroimaging techniques such as electro...
Stavros Vagionitis MSc, PhD Oligodendrocytes produce myelin, a lipoproteinic substance that is wrapped around neuronal axons in a life-long process called myelination.
I am studying the contribution of oligodendrocytes and their precursors (OPCs) to myelin maintenance and r...
Maris Vainre I'm investigating whether mindfulness training improves attention and whether this improvement translates into workplace performance.
Natalie Valle Guzman I work on different studies investigating disorders of motivation and impulsivity, both with healthy volunteers as with patients with various disorders. I am responsible for participant recruitment and management of the research, and I help run s...
Charlotte van Coeverden MSc I am interested in how rewards are coded in the brain and how this reflects on social behaviour.
Dr Jelle van den Ameele I am a neurologist with an interest in developmental neurobiology and mitochondrial genetics. In the lab, we study how cells and tissues respond to mitochondrial dysfunction, focusing on neural stem cells and the brain. Our goal is to identify nov...
Dr Agatha van der Klaauw I am currently working with Professor Sadaf Farooqi at the Institute of Metabolic Science. We use a number of genetic approaches, including whole-exome sequencing, to identify novel genes involved in hypothalamic development in patients with sever...
Dr Sander van der Linden Dr. Sander van der Linden is a University Lecturer in Psychology, Director of the Cambridge Social Decision-Making Lab and a Fellow of Churchill College. His research interests include social perception, normative influence, the “wisdom of crowds”...
Professor Anne-Laura van Harmelen Anne-Laura van Harmelen is an affiliated researcher at the department of Psychiatry, University of Cambridge. Van Harmelen is professor of Brain, Safety and Resilience at the Institute of Education and Child Studies at Leiden University in the Net...
Ms Francesca van Tartwijk Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a lethal neurodegenerative disease, characterised by the death of motor neurons. Though the causes of ALS are unknown, mutations in several genes have been linked to ALS, including in that encoding the protei...
Dr Szilvia Vas My research interest focuses on the regulation of sleep-wake architecture and brain oscillation in different behavioural states.
I joined Professor Jenny Morton's research group in 2015 to study the alterations of sleep-wake pattern and EEG spec...
Deniz Vatansever Extensive neuroimaging research has identified a set of brain regions with prominent activity during “no task” baseline conditions, collectively known as the default mode network. The DMN is hypothesized to drive a variety of functions including f...
Professor Bert Vaux --grounding of phonological learning in a mathematical implementation of evolutionary information theory.
--phonological cognition.
--implications of selective aphasias, first and second language acquisition phenomena, processing and production ef...
Ms Maria Vedechkina I am interested the mechanisms through which childhood adversity, including abuse and neglect, shapes neurodevelopment and mental health across the lifespan. The aim of my research is to identify biobehavioural markers of risk and resilience to in...
Professor Michele Vendruscolo Our research at the Centre for Misfolding Diseases (https://www.cmd.ch.cam.ac.uk/) is aimed at understanding the molecular origins of neurodegenerative disorders.
We have set up an interdisciplinary programme that brings together methods and conc...
Dr Petra Vertes I lead the Systems and Computational Neuroscience group in the Department of Psychiatry, and I am a fellow at the Alan Turing Institute. I am also one of the co-founders of the Cambridge Networks Network - a forum for academics across different d...
Dr Martin Vestergaard I investigate theoretical and functional relationships among cognitive and economic constructs of decision psychology and communication. I use psychophysical experimentation, computational models and brain imaging techniques to identify behavioura...
Dr Deborah Vickers Deborah Vickers is funded by a Medical Research Council Senior Fellowship in Hearing Research. She leads the ‘Sensory Optimisation Using Neuroscience for Devices’ (SOUND) Lab, where research is focussed on understanding sound perception, impact...
Dr Margreet Vogelzang My research combines psycholinguistic, neuroscientific, statistical, and cognitive modeling methods to investigate different aspects of language processing. Specifically, I work on syntactic processing throughout the lifespan. My research entails ...
Jacqueline von Seth Speech is inherently multisensory. When engaged in a face-to-face conversation, we can make use of visual cues in the speaker’s head and facial movements to significantly improve speech comprehension. This is especially important in adverse listen...
Professor Valerie Voon Why do we repeat behaviours that we know are bad for us? Or make impulsive poorly considered decisions? These decision making processes are relevant in our daily lives and can be hijacked in disorders of pathology.
The Voon lab spans across Camb...
Mr Konstantinos Voudouris I am interested in the cognitive evaluation of machine learning systems. I work on understanding how and why they behave the way they do, particularly with reference to physical common-sense reasoning, in an effort to build safer, more robust, and...
