Molecular mechanisms of microglia-driven neurodegeneration in human tauopathies
Neuroinflammation is associated with many neurodegenerative disorders. Read more
Inflammation in frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration: A Multimodal Approach towards New Therapeutics
(Co-supervised with Professor James Rowe). Neuroinflammation is an important driving mechanism in all diseases caused by frontotemporal lobar degeneration, and predicts clinical progression. Read more
Microglial Function in Postnatal Development and Maternal Immune Activation
Microglia, the brain’s resident immune cells, play a key role in brain development, learning and memory, as well as in the behavioural adaptation to various environmental challenges (like stress, inadequate nutrition, and viral infections), which have been linked to the development of depression, schizophrenia, and autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). Read more
Investigating the Immune Basis of Parkinson’s Disease
It is now well established that immune activation occurs in Parkinson’s disease, but whether it plays a critical role in disease onset and progression remains uncertain. Read more
Ultra-High Field (7T) Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Development
I lead the 7T MRI physics group in Cambridge. We create new methods to studying the human brain and body using Cambridge’s state-of-the-art Siemens Terra 7T MRI scanner. Read more
A Cell Interactome Approach to Model, Characterise and understand Novel Mechanisms of Disease in Progressive Multiple Sclerosis
(co-supervised with A Nicaise and I Mohorianou). Recent work suggests that cellular ageing, known as senescence, of endogenous stem-like cells in the brain may contribute to the chronic inflammation and neurodegeneration seen in people with progressive multiple sclerosis (PMS). Read more
Translating Artificial Intelligence Applied to Neuroimaging into Clinical Practice for Dementia
Despite a number of academic studies using Artificial Intelligence and neuroimaging to predict diagnosis and prognosis in dementia, there have been very few examples of these methods benefiting patients. Read more
Department of Psychology
This programme presents the opportunity to join our international and interdisciplinary research community working within the fields of infancy and early development, language and cognition, perception and action or social processes. Read more
Using Genetics to Identify Treatments for Cerebral Small Vessel Disease and Vascular Dementia
Cerebral small vessel disease (SVD) causes lacunar stroke which itself is the cause of a quarter of all strokes. It is also the most common pathology underlying vascular dementia. Read more
Investigating the Immunopathogenesis of Paediatric Acquired Demyelinating Syndromes
The term paediatric acquired demyelinating syndrome (ADS) encompasses a range of inflammatory demyelinating disorders of the central nervous system (CNS), including. Read more
Identifying Novel Genes and Developing Treatments for Children with Inherited Neuromuscular Diseases
Inherited neuromuscular disorders are disabling, progressive, often fatal conditions, representing an enormous unmet medical need with devastating impacts on affected families, the healthcare system, and the economy. Read more
RaoN_U22DEV Sustainable Aquaculture for Food and Nutrition Security in East Africa
Aquatic foods have great potential for food and nutrition security for East Africa’s rapidly rising population. However, fish stocks in its numerous lakes are rapidly depleting, and aquaculture is poorly regulated, leading to environmental problems and fish diseases. Read more
Functional MRI Imaging in Traumatic Brain Injury
CENTER-TBI is a large European project that aims to improve the care for patients with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). The work undertaken in Cambridge will examine the role of MRI in routine TBI imaging and this project will focus on the role of resting state functional MRI in TBI imaging. Read more
