DrAdrien Rapeaux

Adrien Rapeaux is a Research Fellow in Bioelectronics, currently working on developing bioelectronic devices for new interventions in dementia (Alzheimer's Disease and Parkinson's Disease). His work encompasses unobtrusive monitoring using UWB radar and next-generation implants. He is in the UK Dementia Research Institute's Care Research and Technology (CR&T) Center at Imperial College.

Adrien originally hails as a graduate engineer from Phelma School of Engineering in France and joined the Next Generation Neural Interfaces Lab headed by Tim Constandinou as a Master's exchange student in 2013. His background combines electronic engineering and neuroscience with applications ranging from instrumentation design for biosignal acquisition, neural stimulator design for innovative applications such as High Frequency Block, and more recently micro-stimulators for applications in cortical stimulation treatments for Parkinson's Disease, looking towards treating Alzheimer's Disease using neuromodulation.

Current objectives are to develop a research programme focusing on leveraging new disease models and treatment paradigms for Alzheimer's Disease in a trans-disciplinary, translational approach. In particular, leveraging organoids to investigate systemic pathophysiology in neurodegenerative disease, whole-brain dynamics and how they change in health and disease, and distributed rather than centralised neuromodulation.
