Davide Bruno

I undertook my BSc in Psychology at the University of Parma (2002). In 2007, I was awarded a PhD from Keele University, UK, with a thesis on context-dependent memory (under the supervision of Dr Andrew Rutherford). After obtaining my PhD, I moved south to work as a post-doc in Dr Phil Higham’s lab at the University of Southampton – and then to the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, to study signal detection theory with Drs Caren Rotello and Neil Macmillan.

Subsequently, I worked at the Nathan Kline Institute for Psychiatric Research (in Dr Nunzio Pomara’s Geriatric Psychiatry Division) and I became Research Assistant Professor at New York University – School of Medicine (Center of Excellence on Brain Aging). There I developed an interest in neuroscience and began researching brain ageing, Alzheimer’s disease, and dementia.

I am now a Reader in Psychology at Liverpool John Moores University. My research interests are in memory and neurodegenerative disorders.
