About
Lachlan Webb is a computational neuroscientist and biostatistician. He has been involved in research across a number of disciplines, including: the neurodevelopment of sleep in human infancy and childhood, stimulation therapeutics for mental health disorders, and antimalarial clinical trials. He did his PhD with the Brain Modelling Group, using mathematical models of sub-cortical brain activity tied to sleep patterns to understand how the mechanisms behind sleep change throughout infancy and early childhood. He continues to be a consultant biostatistician in the Statistics Unit, as well as be involved in neuroimaging research and neuro-stimulation trials in the Clinical Brian Networks group.
