Congxiyu (Sherry) Wang

I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Heart and Brain Group in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Oxford. My research focuses on identifying modifiable lifestyle and health factors across the life course that may protect against dementia and cognitive decline. In particular, I investigate how lifestyle behaviours and vascular health contribute to cognitive and brain resilience, which may help preserve brain structure in individuals who are at increased pathological risk of neurodegenerative diseases. I conduct analyses using large population cohorts, including the UK Biobank and the Whitehall II Study.

I obtained my DPhil in Psychiatry from the University of Oxford under the supervision of Dr Sana Suri and Professor Clare Mackay. My doctoral research examined the role of cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) in linking midlife dementia risk factors with later-life brain structure and cognitive outcomes, using imaging and neuropsychological data from the Whitehall II Heart and Brain Study.

Prior to my doctoral studies, I completed an MSc in Clinical Mental Health Sciences at University College London and a BSc in Psychology at Durham University. I also have experience working as an honorary assistant psychologist in the NHS and as a psychological counsellor within a university mental health service.
