Additional areas of investigation include the impact of obesity on systemic inflammation and cancer-associated cachexia and sarcopenia. The outputs of her work will ultimately improve patient management, outcomes and quality of life for cancer patients.

Lorina Naci (Associate Professor)
Lorina Naci is Associate Professor at the School of Psychology and Global Brain Health Institute (GBHI). She received her PhD from the University of Cambridge as a Cooke Fellow. Her work has made ground-breaking contributions to the understanding of cognition and consciousness for individuals with severely limited motoric output, such as severely brain-injured, anaesthetised or advanced Alzheimer’s Disease patients. For example, she has used neuroimaging to understand how consciousness emerges from the healthy brain and to detect conscious awareness in some severely brain-injured patients, who were clinically diagnosed to be in a vegetative state. Her recent work has enabled some of these individuals to communicate their thoughts to the outside world. She has received several awards, including the L’Oréal UNESCO International Rising Talent Award.
