Alberto Lazari
Research Fellow
I am a Research Associate working with Prof. Jason Lerch and focusing on preclinical neuroimaging.
My research interests revolve around myelination, microstructural MRI, and cross-species approaches to neuroimaging. At the moment, I am running a project funded by a WIN Seed Grant and focussed on cross-species homologies in the motor system.
Previous to this, I completed a Wellcome Trust 4-year PhD in the Plasticity Group under the supervision of Prof. Heidi Johansen-Berg, and I continue to work closely with the WIN Neuroplastics Network. My doctoral work has investigated myelin plasticity across species, using a variety of techniques including multimodal microstructural imaging, resting-state fMRI, non-invasive brain stimulation (TMS), invasive electrophysiology and transgenic knock-out models.
