Alicia Northall

Alicia works in the Nuffield Department of Medicine and the Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences, where she is part of the Oxford ALS/MND research group.  

 Alicia leads the development of network-scale measures from neuroimaging data in ALS patients. She aims to integrate MEG-MRI and biochemical data to identify biomarkers of early and pre-symptomatic disease. 

 Alicia completed her undergraduate degree in Psychology at the University of Bristol, followed by a master’s degree in Brain Imaging and Cognitive Neuroscience at the University of Birmingham. She then studied for a PhD in Neuroscience at the University of Tübingen, involving 7T-MRI data from the Otto-von-Guericke University Magdeburg. Her doctoral research investigated the cortical microstructure of the motor cortex in healthy ageing and ALS.
