Melis Anatürk
MA (Hons), MSc, DPhil
Postdoctoral Researcher
My research interests relate to how lifestyle factors (measured over the lifespan) associate with MRI indices of brain integrity and neuropsychological performance. I am currently working with several datasets including the Whitehall II, UK Biobank and Retirement in Action (REACT) studies.
Before completing a DPhil at the University of Oxford (2020), I studied for an undergraduate degree in Psychology at the University of St Andrews (2014), and a MSc degree in Health Psychology at University College London (2015).
