Dr Richard Bethlehem

Director of Neuroimaging

Richard is an assistant professor working on developmental neuroimaging of autism and related conditions. His research focuses on three broad fields:

  1. Investigating the trajectories of brain development in typical and atypical neurodevelopment.
  2. Integrating multi-modal imaging and genetic information into parsing neurodevelopmental trajectories.
  3. Influence of neuromodulatory hormones on brain function in developmental psychopathology.

Richard specializes in brain imaging, genomics and computational neuroscience applied to large cohorts of neuroimaging and transcriptomic datasets. Within Cambridge he actively collaborates with the Brain Mapping Unit and outside Cambridge maintains active collaborations with UCLA (Geschwind & Gandal labs), McGill/MNI (MICA-lab led by Dr. Boris Bernhardt) and ICM Paris (Dr. Daniel Margulies).
