Each year outstanding researchers holding recognised postdoctoral positions at the University of Cambridge are granted PDRA status at Queens’ College. The Postdoctoral Research Associates are members of the SCR, given rights to dine at High Table and granted a personal research allowance. This programme allows them to flourish and build relationships in an outstanding academic community. Congratulations to the new PDRAs as well as those who have been renewed from last year!
Dr Ece Kocagöncü
Experimental Psychology Queens’ PDRA |
Research interests: "Through my postdoctoral projects I am aiming to develop early neurophysiological biomarkers of Alzheimer’s disease that predict cognitive decline in individuals who are at risk of developing the disease and help better stratify prodromal Alzheimer’s disease patients from the healthy, as well as from individuals with subjective memory complaints and mild cognitive impairment. Development of non-invasive early biomarkers of Alzheimer’s disease would help test the effectiveness and sensitivity of experimental medicine, and fast turnover of clinical trials." |
