Rate My Professor JoJoannaanna Collingwood

Her research specializes in the imaging and quantification of transition metal ions in the human brain, focusing on changes associated with neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and Multiple System Atrophy. She employs techniques including synchrotron X-ray spectromicroscopy, high-resolution MRI to assess iron-related effects and biomarkers, electron microscopy, and magnetometry to characterize metal distributions in tissues and protein aggregates. Collingwood founded and co-led the Warwick Medical Imaging Network, served on the Science & Technology Facilities Council Advisory Panel for Public Engagement, the Alzheimer’s Society Biomedical Grant Advisory Board, and peer review panels for SOLEIL synchrotron and Diamond Light Source. She represents the University of Warwick on the Alzheimer’s Research UK Midlands Network. In addition, she chairs the School of Engineering Equality and Diversity Committee, led the department to Athena SWAN Silver award, chairs the University Gender Task Force, and serves on committees for professorial promotions, human samples steering, and research culture.
