Grace Gillis
BSc MSc
DPhil Student & Research Coordinator
- DPhil Student in the Translational Neuroimaging Group
- Research Coordinator for the Oxford Brain Health Centre
I am a DPhil student in the Translational Neuroimaging Group supervised by Clare Mackay and Ludovica Griffanti and funded by the NIHR Oxford Health Biomedical Research Centre.
My research explores multimodal neuroimaging biomarkers in patients with dementia. Using real-world memory clinic data from the Oxford Brain Health Clinic, I am adapting research-style analysis techniques for use in a clinical setting. I aim to integrate this neuroimaging data with data from electronic health records (EHRs) to better characterise and stratify patients with memory problems.
As the research coordinator for the Oxford Brain Health Clinic (BHC), I also manage and maintain the functionality of the BHC Research Database.
Prior to starting my DPhil, I completed a BSc in Biomedical Sciences at UCL and an MSc in Clinical and Therapeutic Neuroscience at the University of Oxford.
