Sarah Morgan

Dr Sarah Morgan is a Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) at King’s College London’s School of Biomedical Engineering and Imaging Sciences, with a visiting appointment at the University of Cambridge’s Department of Computer Science and Technology. She leads the AI for Brain Sciences group, focusing on applying machine learning, network science, and natural language processing to mental health research. Her work integrates multidisciplinary approaches to study brain connectivity and psychiatric disorders. Dr Morgan holds a PhD in theoretical physics from the University of Cambridge and has collaborated with institutions globally, including the University of Pennsylvania and Mount Sinai Medical Center.

Her research emphasizes combining multimodal data (e.g., brain imaging, gene expression) with AI to improve mental health prediction and treatment. She supervises PhD students in areas like early-life brain development, dementia trajectories in Down’s Syndrome, and speech-based mental health monitoring. Her team’s AI tools, such as MIND, aim to uncover robust biomarkers for psychopathology.

Dr Morgan’s work spans collaborations with clinical partners, and her lab’s outputs address translational challenges in psychiatry. She maintains ties to the Accelerate Science programme at Cambridge, fostering cross-institutional innovation.
