After obtaining her PhD in Neuroscience from King’s College London in 2016, Dr Cara Croft joined the University of Florida for her postdoctoral training and Brightfocus Foundation postdoctoral fellowship, where she was also awarded the McKnight Leadership Award in 2020 for contributions to neuroscience research, education and outreach. 

With a prestigious Race Against Dementia fellowship, she relocated to the UK Dementia Research Institute at University College London as an Emerging leader in 2021 and joined the Blizard Institute as a Senior Lecturer in Neuroscience in September 2023.
