Biography

As Programme Lead for the MSc Neuroscience, an important role for me is to support, challenge, creatively stimulate, and train students on their journey to become the neuroscientists and leaders of the future. My current research explores how verbal suggestions can affect the representation of one’s own body in the brain. I am also the chair of the NHS Health Research Authority, London Queen Square Research Ethics Committee.
