معرفی
Natalie Voets is an Associate Professor at the FMRIB Centre, part of the Wellcome Centre for Integrative Neuroimaging (WIN) at the University of Oxford. Her research focuses on translational neuroimaging, particularly using MRI to study how brain functional networks and structural pathways adapt to disease, injury, and treatment. She collaborates closely with the Oxford Neuro-Oncology Surgery service, Glioma research group, Epilepsy Surgery Programme, and Oxford Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Research Group, with multidisciplinary ties to the Department of Engineering.
- Education: MA in Experimental Psychology (University of Oxford, 2002), D.Phil in Neuroimaging (FMRIB Centre, 2005)
- Professional Roles: Associate Professor, Principal Investigator, and Awake Intraoperative Neurosurgery Technician at OUH NHS Foundation Trust
Her research explores brain plasticity in patients undergoing neurosurgery for brain tumours and traumatic brain injury, aiming to identify predictive biomarkers for surgical outcomes and recovery potential. Recent work emphasizes deep learning integration in hippocampus segmentation, clinical fMRI advancements, and longitudinal TBI studies in pediatric populations. She contributes to consensus guidelines like those from the Organization for Human Brain Mapping.
Publications highlight her expertise in functional MRI for surgical planning, neural plasticity analysis, and hippocampal network studies, with a focus on bridging imaging innovations to clinical workflows. She has secured funding from prestigious sources such as the Medical Research Council and British Medical Association.
