Rachel is a visiting PhD student from the University of Hong Kong, holding the Hong Kong PhD Fellowship.
Her research investigates the psychoneuroimmunological correlates of cognitive and affective vulnerability in ageing, using multimodal neuroimaging, biomarker and neuropsychological assessments, and computational approaches.
During her Michaelmas 2025 visit, she will focus on examining how lesion location and lesion-induced disconnection across structural, functional, and neurotransmitter systems contribute to the development and severity of post-stroke depression.
