Ioana Grigoras
MD MSc
DPhil Student
I am a DPhil in the Physiological Neuroimaging Group, under the supervision of Professor Charlotte Stagg. I am using 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 from the "Carol Davila" University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Bucharest, Romania and then completed a M.Sc. in Neuroscience at the University of Oxford.
