András Lakatos

András Lakatos is Associate Professor of Neurology and Neurobiology at the University of Cambridge and leads a research laboratory in the Department of Clinical Neurosciences. Over the past 10 years, he and his team have pioneered the development of human 3D neural organoid and other stem cell-based models. This work helped uncover novel cellular and molecular mechanisms relevant to the healthy, injured, and diseased central nervous system, aiming to identify new neurological treatment strategies. He has additional affiliations with the MRC-Wellcome Trust Cambridge Stem Cell Institute and Cambridge University Hospitals, where he conducts his clinical practice as a consultant neurologist. He has received several prestigious awards, including the MRC Clinician Scientist Fellowship Award in 2017, the Alzheimer’s Research UK David Hague Young Investigator of the Year Award in 2022, and the MRC Senior Clinical Fellowship Award in 2023.
