Dr Ivana Rosenzweig is Head of the Sleep and Brain Plasticity Centre at King’s College London and a consultant neuropsychiatrist with long-standing clinical experience in sleep medicine. She trained in neurophysiology at the University of Cambridge, completing her PhD as a Trinity College Scholar, and later received a Wellcome Trust award to investigate the mechanisms linking sleep, neuroplasticity and inflammation. Her laboratory explores how sleep shapes brain function, memory, and vulnerability to neurological and psychiatric disease, using clinical and preclinical imaging alongside computational approaches. Current work focuses on the special role of sleep in memory consolidation, with the wider aim of developing preventive and therapeutic strategies for major brain disorders.
