معرفی
Cristiana Tisca is a Postdoctoral Researcher in Preclinical MRI and Junior Research Fellow at Linacre College, University of Oxford, affiliated with the Nuffield Department of Clinical Neuroscience within the Medical Sciences Division.
Her research integrates neuroscience, medical imaging, and genetics to leverage the UK Biobank study—the largest human brain imaging dataset—linking neuroimaging measurements to genetic modifications and tracking brain development trajectories before and after disease onset. She develops specialized MRI and microscopy protocols for characterizing genetically modified mouse models relevant to human studies.
Recent publications demonstrate methodological innovation in preclinical imaging techniques and pharmacological interventions affecting brain structure-function relationships, with strong emphasis on translational applications between animal models and human biobank data.
She actively collaborates within Oxford's Microstructural Imaging and Preclinical Imaging Groups alongside Karla Miller, Aurea Martins Bach, Amy Howard, Jason Lerch, Kamila Szulc-Lerch, Benjamin Tendler, and Mohamed Tachrount.
