Interdisciplinary Neuroscience, Neuropathology, Neuroimmunology
Dr Simeen Tabassi Mofrad is a Research Fellow in Medical Sciences Division of University of Oxford, and a Research Member of the Common Room at Wolfson College.
She is interested in diagnostic biomarkers of neurodegenerative diseases, in particular, by investigating neuroinflammatory and genetic characteristics and their impacts on brain behaviour.
With expertise in interdisciplinary research in neuroscience and by focusing on cortical and allelic determinants of age-related cognitive decline, she also works toward novel interventions to delay cognitive impairment and dementia.
