Dr Jonathan Gilley My principle research area is investigation of the molecular mechanisms involved in axon degeneration after injury and in disease.
Professor Dino Giussani We have intertwined our interests in oxygen and the development of the central nervous and cardiovascular systems to propose that oxidative stress underlies the common molecular pathway via which prenatal hypoxia contributes to a developmental ori...
Dr Brian Glasberg My research focuses on the perception of sound in both normally hearing and hearing-impaired people and relates to the psychophysics of hearing.
Dr Dervila Glynn Following on from a degree in Biotechnology, I completed a PhD in Pharmacology (Downing College) and worked for 11 years in the field of Huntington’s disease (HD). My research focused on understanding the mechanisms underlying neurodegeneration an...
Dr Hedwig Gockel My research has covered various aspects of human hearing, mostly in healthy individuals. Amongst them are pitch perception, auditory grouping and streaming processes, effects of attention on auditory perception, loudness perception and masking. I...
Dr Michel Goedert Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease are characterized by the presence of abnormal filamentous assemblies within some nerve cells. Similar assemblies are found in related disorders, including progressive supranuclear palsy, dementia with Le...
Dr Tobias Goehring My focus lies on improving the perception of speech for people with hearing loss in everyday life, especially in difficult listening situations with interfering background sounds. I combine techniques from Engineering, Auditory Neuroscience and Ma...
Professor Ian Goodyer FMedSci I am a Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist based at Cambridge University pursuing research into the connections between human development and psychopathology. My studies are centred on adolescents in the community as well as current patients. Our re...
Professor Juan Manuel Gorriz The SIPBA group use computational and mathematical approaches based on the statistical learning theory to develop computer-aided diagnosis systems in the field of neuroscience. SiPBA aim to provide supporting tools to physicians in the early diagn...
Professor Usha Goswami I am the Director of the Centre for Neuroscience in Education. The Centre uses EEG and fNIRS to explore the developing brain. Key research projects include the neural basis of developmental dyslexia, the neural basis of speech and language impairm...
Dr Stacey Anne Gould I am currently exploring ways to target programmed axon death for therapeutic effect. I study the role of SARM1 activation after a range of physical and neurotoxic triggers, and how subsequent axon degeneration can be prevented using compounds wit...
Dr Julia Greenland I am interested in the role of the immune system in the progression of Parkinson's disease. Together with Dr Williams-Gray, I am running a clinical trial of azathioprine, an immunosuppressant medication, to try to slow down the progression of PD.
