Nasri Fatih
BSc, MSc, PhD
Postdoctoral Research Scientist
My research involves using large datasets to examine the relationship between alcohol and the brain.
I previously completed an MRC-funded PhD in neuroscience and cardiovascular sciences at UCL, where I worked with large cohorts to study whether diabetes and cardiovascular disease impact the brain of men and women differently.
Prior to my doctoral studies, I held research positions at the Great Ormond Street Hospital Institute of Child Health. I have read for a BSc in Psychology and an MSc in Clinical Neuroscience both at UCL. I have been on the Dean’s List for being one of the highest scoring students in the faculty of Brain Sciences
