DrAlan Liu

Honorary Clinical Research Fellow

Department of Brain Sciences - Faculty of Medicine

BIO

I graduated with an MBBS-PhD degree from Imperial College School of Medicine in 2018 with Distinctions in Medical Sciences, Clinical Science and Clinical Practice. My PhD was jointly awarded from Imperial College London and the University of Hong Kong with a thesis titled "Clinicopathological investigations of the cholinergic basal forebrain in Lewy body disorders and ageing".

I completed my foundation training at the North West of England Foundation School in Merseyside before being awarded an NIHR Academic Clinical Fellowship in Neurology at the University of Oxford. During my internal medicine training, I completed the membership exam for the Royal College of Physicians (MRCP).

Currently, I am a specialty registrar in Diagnostic Neuropathology at the Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. I also hold honorary research roles at both the University of Oxford (Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences) and Imperial College London (Division of Brain Sciences), where I remain actively involved in neuropathology research and supervision.
