Biography
Alice studied Biomedical Science at the University of Sheffield (2018-2021) before successfully applying for a 1 + 3 MRC PhD fellowship in Neurodevelopmental Disorders at King’s College London (October 2021). In her rotation year Alice explored neurodevelopment in the wet lab (cell cultures and model organisms) and in humans using MRI approaches.
She is now completing her PhD in Nicolaas Puts Group (Sensory InputsLab; started October 2022) where she hopes to explore atypical development in Autism Spectrum Condition sensory subgroups using MRI approaches, in particular magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
