A Lecturer in dementia research at Imperial College London, Dr. Samuel Barnes investigates vulnerability in the ageing brain. Obtaining his PhD from Kings College London, where he focussed on neural plasticity, Samuel then completed postdoctoral training at University College London, before being awarded a prestigious Edmond J Safra Fellowship. Joining the UK DRI at Imperial in 2018, Samuel leads a group investigating the role of neural-circuit plasticity in the earliest stages of dementia.
