Dr Fumiya Iida Our research interests lie at the biologically inspired robotics, i.e. the cross section between biology and robotics: We are interested in extracting design principles of nature and extend them for improving our robotics technologies.
Dr James Ingram My research focuses on understanding the sensorimotor control of the arm and hand in humans. I am especially interested in object manipulation and tool use. Object manipulation and tool use is an essential feature of human behaviour. It represents...
Rosana-Bristena Ionescu MD I am an MD, currently pursuing a PhD in the Department of Clinical Neurosciences, with the support of the Medical Research Council Doctoral Training Partnership (MRC-DTP) and the Cambridge Trust.
My research is centred on using induced neural ste...
Dr Tony Jackson In neurones, voltage-gated sodium (Nav) channels initiate the action potential. Sodium channels consist of a ~ 250 kDa alpha-subunit and ~40 kDa beta-subunits. The beta-subunits modulate channel gating. The Nav beta-subunits possess an extracellul...
Sridhar rajan Jagannathan The aim of this research is to generate a body of work capable of characterizing the neural and computational dynamics of consciousness during arousal(alertness) transitions. I do this by developing new mathematical tools for the analysis of compl...
Dr Baland Jalal PhD Dr Baland Jalal's research interest is neuropsychiatry, with a focus on how technology (e.g., smartphone apps) and innovative treatments can make psychiatry more transportable and accessible (the theme of his PhD done at Cambridge University - wit...
Dr Ibrahim Jalloh Which fuels are best for the injured brain? Ibrahim is a consultant adult and paediatric neurosurgeon who was awarded a World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies Young Neurosurgeon of the Year award in 2017. His research, supported by the MRC, a...
Nazia Jassim I am a Parke-Davis Research Fellow at the Prediction and Learning (PaL) lab. I use experimental psychology, ultra high-resolution 7T neuroimaging, and computational modelling to investigate the neurocomputational basis of sensory learning in adult...
Dr Gregory Jefferis Our broad goal is to understand how smell turns into behaviour in the fruit fly brain. We use a combination of genetic labelling and manipulation, targeted in vivo whole cell patch clamp recording and high resolution neuroanatomy to study olfactor...
Jennifer Wanyi Jia My research is on myelin plasticity during adulthood and how myelin dynamics may be influenced by neuronal plasticity. Oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system produce myelin, which is essential for ensuring fast signal transmission in neuro...
Dr Alexis Joannides We have established a scaleable and clinically compatible system for generating and propagating neural stem cells from human embryonic stem (ES) cells. Using this platform, and building on our work on mouse ES cells demonstrating a correlation of ...
Professor Mark Johnson FBA Johnson has published over 360 papers and 10 books on brain and cognitive development in human infants, children and in other species. His laboratory currently focuses on typical, at-risk and atypical functional brain development in human infants ...
Amy Jolly I am a PhD Student in the Stroke Research Group supervised by Professor Hugh Markus.
My PhD project is investigating cognition and fatigue in genetic and sporadic small vessel disease using both genetics and neuroimaging features.
Emer Jones I’m interested in using artificial neural networks as a modelling framework for the human ventral stream: first developing an additional test-bed of how ‘brain-like’ neural nets are, and then trying to improve their ability to predict neuroimaging...
Dr Joanne Jones We study human autoimmunity; in particular we aim to understand why autoimmunity often occurs during recovery from T cell lymphopenia.
People with multiple sclerosis, treated with the highly effective lymphocyte depleting antibody alemtuzumab off...
Professor Peter Jones The Cambridge “epiCentre” group works at the interface between population-based research, neuroscience and clinical psychiatry in order to understand the causes, mechanisms and treatments for psychosis (particularly schizophrenia) dementia, depres...
Dr Phil Jones We are investigating how normal stem cells transform into cancer cells in a range of sytems, both by studying stem and progenitor cell fate and also by investigating the role of a specific cell fate regulators. Our focus has been on Hes6, which r...
Mr Simon Jones Imaging analysis and study design in Dr James Rowe's Group. Mainly looking at impulsivity in Parkinson's disease, stroke and dementia using structutral MR, PET and fMRI.
Dr Susan Jones The primary focus of our research is the function of AMPA and NMDA glutamate receptors at excitatory synapses in the brain. We study the properties of glutamate receptors, glutamatergic synaptic transmission, and synaptic plasticity. We are intere...
Rosie JonesJennings I am studying the creation of empathetic narratives within British Horsemanship. I am interested in how an 'other's' thoughts and feelings are comprehended and experienced in the human brain, how empathy is learned, contextual and partial.
Dr Masa Josipovic It is known that the brain plays an important role in orchestrating homeostatic processes. Our group is specifically interested in how it controls peripheral glucose levels and how this is changed in diabetes. Specialised neurocircuitry in the bra...
Dr Kamila Jozwik Broadly I'm interested in the following questions:
How does the primate brain process visual information?
More specifically - how does the primate brain recognise objects?
What are the underlying computations of visual processing?
I use fMRI, ...
