Professor Marcus Kaiser - Joint Director of the Centre for Translational Neuroscience

Marcus Kaiser PhD FRSB, is Professor of Neuroinformatics at the University of Nottingham, based at the Precision Imaging Beacon within the School of Medicine, and visiting professor at Shanghai Jiao Tong University (Rui Jin Hospital).

He is Chair of Neuroinformatics UK, Chair of the Neuroinformatics Special Interest Group of the British Neuroscience Association, and Chair of the NHS CHAIN Technology Sub-group on Computational Neurology.

Working in the field of brain connectivity, or connectomics, Dr Kaiser studies how brain networks develop, how network structure is linked to network function, and how interventions can alter these networks. Using computational and experimental approaches, he aims to find optimal personalised treatments for brain disorders. In particular, he is interested in treatments using non-invasive focused ultrasound or electrical stimulation as well as invasive electrical stimulation. His book 'Changing Connectomes' published by MIT Press summarizes the field of connectomics and how brain networks change in health and disease.
