Ioana Grigoras

MD MSc DPhil

Postdoctoral Research Associate

Investigating the neurophysiological mechanisms of motor learning

I am a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Physiological Neuroimaging Group, working with Professor Charlotte Stagg. My postdoctoral research uses multi-modal neuroimaging, TMS and transcranial ultrasound stimulation (TUS) to explore the neurophysiological mechanisms of motor learning in healthy people and stroke survivors.

During my DPhil, I used behavioural tasks, neuroimaging and non-invasive brain stimulation to investigate how pharmacological modulation of GABA-mediated inhibition can influence motor learning and brain chemistry in healthy volunteers and stroke survivors. 

Prior to my DPhil, I graduated with a medical degree (MD) from the University of Medicine and Pharmacy Carol Davila, Bucharest in Romania and then completed a M.Sc. in Neuroscience at the University of Oxford.

I am also a Lecturer in Medicine (Pharmacology) at St Hilda's College.
