Gaurav Bhalerao

I am postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Psychiatry, University of Oxford and part of Translational Neuroimaging Lab and the Wellcome Centre for Integrative Neuroimaging (WIN). My research interests include neuroimaging in psychiatry, machine learning, and computational modelling of brain stimulation. I am currently working in the Dementias Platform UK (DPUK) project which aims to find news ways of detecting, treating and preventing dementia. My work involves adapting UK Biobank brain imaging pipeline for DPUK datasets that are made accessible through the DPUK Data portal to advance dementia research. This work also includes exploring the inclusion of additional pipelines for the calculation of measures specifically relevant to dementia cohorts and develop methods to facilitate cross-cohort analyses. Additionally, I will be working on making the pipeline accessible from the DPUK remote analysis environment for the users of the DPUK Data Portal that wish to apply the pipeline to new datasets. I have completed my PhD at Department of Psychiatry, National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences, Bengaluru, India.
