Dr. Sana Suri

Sana is an Alzheimer ’s Society Research Fellow at the University of Oxford who uses multimodal neuroimaging techniques to study risk and resilience for cognitive decline in aging. In Cristiana’s interview with Sana, they discuss the many forms in which Sana’s passion for neuroscience has materialized: her postdoctoral research involving risk factors for developing dementia, how she almost left research to focus on growing her neuroscience blog, and her role as a science communicator informing policy in Parliament. She also runs an independent research group at Oxford and is an active advocate for promoting women and people of color in science. Despite having to juggle all of these commitments, Sana is adamant about not working on weekends and shares great insights on balancing her career with family time and celebrating every small victory.
