Kia Nobre is a Professorial Fellow at St Catherine's College and holds the Chair in Translational Cognitive Neuroscience at the University of Oxford, shared between the Departments of Psychiatry and Experimental Psychology. She directs the Oxford Centre for Human Brain Activity (OHBA) and previously chaired the Oxford Neuroscience committee. Her research focuses on understanding how memory and attention guide adaptive behavior through neuroimaging (MEG, EEG, MRI) and behavioral methods.
Educated in Brazil and the U.S., Nobre earned her PhD from Yale University and held postdoctoral positions at Harvard Medical School and Northwestern University. She joined Oxford in 1994, becoming a titular professor and Tutorial Fellow at New College before her current roles.
Research Interests: Neural mechanisms of attention, memory integration, Alzheimer's progression, and translational neuroscience. Her work bridges basic cognitive science with clinical applications in psychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders.
Awards: MRC Suffrage Science Award (2016), Broadbent Prize (2019), C.L. de Carvalho-Heineken Award (2022), APS Lifetime Mentor Award. Recognized as Fellow of the British Academy and International Fellow of the National Academy of Sciences.
Grants and Funding: Supported by Wellcome Trust, MRC, NIHR, EU Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions, and James S. McDonnell Foundation. Leads interdisciplinary teams at the Brain & Cognition Lab and collaborates with the Mesulam Centre in Chicago.
