Bhavna Verma serves as a Research Fellow in the Department of Physiology, Anatomy and Genetics at the University of Oxford, where she is an integral member of the Wilson Group conducting advanced neuroscience research. Her position places her within Oxford's academic faculty structure focused on molecular mechanisms of neurodegeneration.
Her research specialization centers on Alzheimer's disease pathology, with critical investigations into amyloid-β-induced disruptions of protein aggregation dynamics and endosomal membrane function. Key interests span cellular neuroscience, protein biochemistry, and neurodegenerative disease mechanisms, emphasizing the role of amyloid precursor protein (APP) in neuronal health and disease progression.
Dr. Verma's 2025 EMBO Journal publication demonstrates how amyloid-β interferes with APP-regulated protein processes on recycling endosomal membranes—a finding that advances understanding of early Alzheimer's pathogenesis and identifies potential therapeutic targets for neurodegenerative conditions.
Within the Wilson Group, she collaborates on interdisciplinary projects exploring fundamental cellular pathways in neurodegeneration, contributing to Oxford's leadership in neuroscience research through rigorous molecular and cellular investigations.
