Edit Franko

Clinical Research Associate, Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences

I graduated as a medical doctor at the University of Szeged, Hungary, and then did a PhD at the Catholic University of Leuven, Belgium. 

As a post-doctoral researcher, I worked on different neurological diseases first in France, and then in the UK. At University College London, I examined the electrical brain activity of patients with prion disease.

At the University of Oxford, I work with patients who have suffered a special type of stroke, subarachnoid haemorrhage. I look for biomarkers in their electrical activity to predict further complications.

I am very excited about the Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition where I can share my fascination with the human brain. I am focusing on creating activities that can be enjoyed by children at the event and things they can take home to continue learning.
