Vyara Valkanova
MD BSc (hons)
Honorary Clinical Research Fellow
- Specialist Registrar
After graduating in Medicine, I started my clinical training in Psychiatry and later obtained a degree in Psychology. I’m currently a Specialty Training Registrar (ST6) in General Adult and Old Age Psychiatry, combining my clinical training with research which is part of the Whitehall Imaging project ‘Predicting MRI abnormalities with longitudinal data of the Whitehall II Substudy". Under the supervision of Prof Ebmeier I’m also conducting a study looking at the relationship between cognition, vascular burden and gait abnormalities.
