Dr Tim Dalgleish I am broadly interested in affective neuroscience in relation to clinical depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). I am particularly interested in mental control and emotion regulation in these conditions and the psychological and neu...
Professor Jeff Dalley Primary research interests include behavioural and cognitive neuroscience, psychopharmacology and neuromodulation of limbic cortico-striatal brain circuitry. Specific interests include behavioural and neurobiological endophenotypes and their trans...
Miss Tamana Darwish Feeding behaviour and metabolic state are regulated by many factors- one of the them being nutrient intake. I am interested in how the body responds physiologically the intake of nutrients, in particular to amino acids, which are known to promote ...
Professor Anthony Davenport Our research group focuses on understanding the role of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs, targets for about ~50% of current drugs) together with their transmitters in humans. We use in vitro pharmacology, to determine how these are altered with ...

Dr Matt Davis My work is interdisciplinary, combining diverse methodologies from Cognitive Neuroscience to investigate the neural mechanisms involved in spoken and written language comprehension. I work on a range of topics, including speech perception, lexical...
Dr Daniel De Haan I am a postdoctoral research associate in the TWCF Theology, Philosophy of Religion, and the Sciences Project: Neuroscience Strand, Faculty of Divinity, and Translational Cognitive Neuroscience Laboratory, Department of Psychology, Cambridge Unive...
Dr Daniel de Malmazet I’m studying how neurons in the superior colliculus control visual guided behaviour.
Dr Héloïse de Vareilles I am investigating the links between brain folding pattern and schizophrenia using anatomical MRI. I am also assessing genetic causes of variable cortical folding.
Dr Naomi Deakin MB BChir MA (Cantab) Dr Deakin is a PhD student in Clinical Neurosciences, co-supervised by Prof Peter Hutchinson (Neurosurgery) and Prof John Suckling (Psychiatry). Dr Deakin completed her medical training in Cambridge, followed by the Academic Foundation Programme i...
Dr Andrew Dean Interest in: i) Genetically-determined and developmentally acquired disorders of the central and peripheral nervous system and muscle, encompassing neuropathy, myopathy, dystrophy, neuropathy, malformation, epilepsy and mental retardation; ii) st...
Dr Janet Deane We study the role of lipid processing pathways in demyelinating neurodegenerative disease. We are interested in how the composition of cellular membranes is maintained and what the effects are when this composition is altered. Lipids and proteins ...
Mr Richard Dear I am a PhD student at the Brain Mapping Unit supervised by Petra Vertes and Ed Bullmore. I'm interested in using computational techniques to understand the neurobiology of mental health, with a particular focus on revealing the underlying biologic...
Dr Laura Dearden I am a post-doctoral research associate in Professor Sue Ozanne’s lab in the Institute of Metabolic Science. The Ozanne lab is interested in understanding how exposure to maternal obesity programs an increased risk of cardio-metabolic disease in o...
Ms Nadene Dermody Despite the wealth of information available to us at any one time, we are able to navigate through these sensory-laden environments in a purposeful way. How do our brains select what is relevant to our current goal, direct our behaviour accordingl...
Professor Anthony Dickinson My primary research interests concern learning, memory, motivation, and future planning in both humans and animals. My interest in learning and memory is focussed on the distinction between goal-directed and habitual instrumental behaviour as asse...
Dr Andrea Dimitracopoulos After training as a Biomedical Engineer at the Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies in Pisa, Andrea started his PhD in Theoretical Physics and Cell Biology at University College London, on the CoMPLEX programme. Under the supervision of Buzz Baum,...
Dr Eleni Dimou Tau is a soluble protein interacting with tubulin to stabilize microtubules. Under pathological conditions, it becomes hyperphosphorylated and adopts a filamentous conformation with a pivotal role in Alzheimer’s Disease pathogenesis. Although tau ...
Miss Lena Dorfschmidt I am interested in the principles of whole-brain network organization in health and disease. I work on resting state MRI data in order to model trajectories of adolescent cortical development and identify disruptions in functional connectomics dur...
Maria-Eleni Dounavi I am a Research Associate at the department of Psychiatry (Old Age Psychiatry research group).
My research is focused on multi-modal MR brain imaging and utilisation of state-of-the-art image processing tools to investigate early changes occurrin...
Miss Rebecca Dowden MSci (Hons) I work in the Stroke Research Group, Department of Clinical Neuroscience at the University of Cambridge. My role includes the coordination and monitoring of the DNA Lacunar 2 study that investigates the genetics of lacunar stroke.
Mr Connor Doyle I have previously worked on the relationship between physiological and behavioural indices of negative affective bias and motivational anhedonia in non-human primates.
Dr Ichrak DRISSI I'm a neuroscientist at Cambridge Institute for Medical Research (CIMR), University of Cambridge. My research interests aim to understand genetic alterations underlying painlessness and excess pain disorders. By analysing DNA from patients sufferi...
Dr Robert Dudas I have carried out research projects on cognitive impairment in the context of progressive-degenerative dementias and affective symptomatology. My current interest in dementia spans from risk factors to clinical management.
I have also investiga...
Mr Jasdip Singh Dulai My research is orientated towards the more commonly observed nociceptive pain pathway, with a specific interest in inflammation. Using both in silico screening (docking models) and in vitro (electrophysiology) to validate findings.
The overall ai...
Professor John Duncan Brain basis for attention, intelligence and cognitive control; including studies of normal cognition and behaviour, impairments following brain damage, functional brain imaging, and single cell electrophysiology.
For John Duncan's popular science...
Mr Jacob Dundee My project is to understand the role of microglia in development, tauopathy, and ageing. As a person get older, microglia have been found to ‘eat’ synapses of stressed but still functional neurons, possibly driving the disease progression of many ...

I'm a PhD student studying the development of cellular-scale brain networks in vitro. I grow primary murine neuronal cultures and record spontaneous activity on microelectrode arrays (MEAs). I also analyse MEA recordings of stem-cell-derived huma...
Miss Carolina Duro Doctorate Project exploring the topic: Role of MAST3 in neurodevelopment and disease.
Project aims:
1) Generate novel mouse models that recapitulate disease-causing mutations presented in human patients;
(2) Phenotypical, behavioral, and anatomic...
