Prof. Charlotte Stagg

Professor of Human Neurophysiology
Sir Henry Dale Fellow

Dr Charlotte (Charlie) Stagg is Professor of Human Neurophysiology and Head of the Physiological Neuroimaging Group. She has held a Sir Henry Dale Fellowship, funded by the Wellcome Trust and the Royal Society, since 2014.

Charlie initially trained in Physiology and Medicine at the University of Bristol. She completed her D.Phil. at the Oxford Centre for Functional MRI of the Brain (FMRIB), University of Oxford, where she used advanced neuroimaging to study how the brain learns new motor skills.  She was then awarded a Junior Research Fellowship at St Edmund Hall in Oxford, continuing to be based at FMRIB for her post-doctoral work, with research periods at University College London and the University of Miami, USA.

Charlie's inter-disciplinary research group uses multi-modal neuroimaging and non-invasive brain stimulation approaches to understand the physiological processes underlying motor plasticity, both in the context of learning new motor skills and regaining function after a stroke. Her work has two overarching themes: to understand the neural mechanisms underpinning motor learning, and to develop non-invasive brain stimulation as a potential therapeutic intervention for rehabilitation.
