Miss Seyedeh-Rezvan Farahibozorg My current research is aimed at characterisation of semantic networks in the brain based on source reconstructed concurrent Electro-/Magnetoencephalography (E/MEG)).
Multiple brain areas are thought to play role in semantic cognition. However, th...
Luisa Fassi I am a MRC-DTP PhD student working at the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit and the Department of Psychiatry. My research uses a mixed-method approach to map the relationship between social media use and youth’s mental health. Specifically, I...
Professor James Fawcett Axon regeneration in the damaged CNS: Regeneration of axons after CNS damage is blocked by several molecules in the environment and by loss of intrinsic regeneration ability, We modify the environment to make it more permissive and modify axonal ...
Dr Shaline Fazal Research into the role of peripheral immune cells in Huntington's disease. A particular focus is on the possible influence that these peripheral immune cells may have on the seeding and propagation of mutant Huntingtin between cells. A patient and...
Ms Georgia Feltham Our research has previously found developmental links between children’s awareness of rhythm in speech and their progress in reading. The Botnar project is testing the efficacy of educational interventions based on this research, including a poetr...
Professor Anne Ferguson-Smith Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic mechanism causing genes to be expressed depending on their parental origin. Our research investigates the mechanism and evolution of genomic imprinting and the function of imprinted genes in development and dise...
Dr Hugo Fernandes I am interested in understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying neuronal cell loss in Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases. In particular, we are exploring the role of oxidative stress and ER stress in human (iPSC-derived) dopamine neurons us...
Rocio Fernandez Mendez I am currently working as a post-doctoral researcher at the Department of Clinical Neurosciences. I am involved in a number of projects within the Outcome Registry Intervention and Operation Network (ORION) and I am also the research lead of the O...
Dr Emilio Fernandez-Egea My research interests are mostly the biological and clinical aspects of chronic schizophrenia. I’m the Clozapine Clinic Lead for the local MH Trust (Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust). We study treatment resistant schizophrenia ...
Dr Andre Ferreira Castro So far my research has been driven by a deep fascination for the shape–function relationship in neuroscience. I have been particularly interested in understanding how different neuronal structural patterns provide the background for complex manip...
Mr Emre Fertan I have a background in behavioural neuroscience, during which I studied the behavioural and neuropathological changes in mouse models of Alzheimer's disease. My current work focuses on characterising cellular (iPSC and organoid systems), synaptoso...
Johanna J. S. Finnemann My primary research interests concern sensorimotor integration and somatosensation which I investigate from a computational as well as experimental point of view. In particular I aim to understand how optimal control, predictive processes, motor l...
Dr Sheila Flanagan The possibility that shared neural mechanisms for processing language and music exist is an area of increasing interest. Anecdotal evidence that musical exposure or training leads to improvements in literacy and working memory is now gaining supp...
Professor Paul Fletcher I am interested in psychosis. I agree with the long tradition of clinical psychiatric research which suggests that, during a psychotic illness, the world is a strange place because strange associations are formed and inconsequential stimuli are as...
Professor Thanasis Fokas PhD-MD Analytical algorithms for several medical imaging techniques including PAT, SPECT, MEG, EEG.
Dr Tamsin Ford CBE My research focuses on interventions and services to optimize the mental health of children and young people. Both mental health and services are interpreted broadly to include wellbeing as well as distress rather than children exceeding somewhat ...
Mrs Elizabeth Fordham I am considering the concept of re-birth at adolescence and the impact that this may have on pupil wellbeing. My study is an EdDoc and therefore I am considering how I can combine the work I do with adolescents as a counsellor in private practice,...
Dr Suzanna Forwood My interest is in cortical learning, and particularly the interaction between learning and perception. Previous work has used animal models and computational models to understand cortical function. I am now looking at human models of learning, w...
Mr Maxime Fouyssac My research project in David Belin’s lab at the department of Pharmacology and within the BCNI of Cambridge is to characterize the functional contribution of the astrocytes to the development of habitual and compulsive cocaine self-administration ...
Professor Robin Franklin FMedSci, FRS Robin Franklin is a Principal Investigator at Altos Las - Cambridge Institute having previously been Professor of Stem Cell Medicine at the Wellcome Trust-MRC Cambridge Stem Cell Institute. His lab works on the mechanisms of CNS regeneration with ...
Kristian Franze We are taking an interdisciplinary approach to investigate how cellular forces, local cell and tissue stiffness and cellular mechanosensitivity contribute to CNS development and disease. Methods we are exploiting include atomic force microscopy, t...
Professor Paul Freeman Dip ECVN The role of calcification in intervertebral disc herniation is poorly understood. We are shedding new light on this process through use of Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance, with the g...
Ms Jessica Fritz My main research interest is the study of resilience in individuals who have experienced childhood adversity. Resilience can be described as a process of positive adaptation following exposure to childhood adversity. Childhood adversity is strongl...
Dr Tim Fryer My research concentrates on positron emission tomography (PET) methodology, with particular emphasis on the quantitative accuracy of the physiological parameters derived from the data.
Current research themes are:
parametric mapping using b...
Dr Tanja Fuchsberger The main focus of my research is to investigate mechanisms of synaptic plasticity in health and disease. In my current postdoctoral project, I study molecular mechanisms that affect synaptic changes induced by spike-timing-dependent plasticity in ...
