Biography

Sophie Morse is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Bioengineering, Imperial College London, and a UKRI Future Leaders Fellow. Her research focuses on non-invasive methods to modulate cellular activity, especially in the brain's innate immune cells and peripheral immune cells, with the aim of developing new treatments for neurodegenerative diseases, cognitive decline, and tumors. She has made significant contributions to improving drug delivery to the brain using focused ultrasound and microbubbles, which represent a local, reversible, and non-invasive technique for diagnosing and treating brain diseases. Sophie's research has been recognized through various awards and fellowships, including the EPSRC Doctoral Prize Fellowship and multiple accolades from engineering and medical societies. Her work not only addresses critical challenges in neurodegenerative disorders but also encourages the next generation of researchers by actively seeking undergraduate, master, PhD, and postdoctoral students to join her lab.
