Group Leader
Romeo R. Rácz
Advanced Research Fellow, Faculty of Medicine, Imperial College London
Romeo is an engineer and experimental neuroscientist working where neural engineering, tumour biology and translational medicine meet. He is interested in what living brain tissue can tell us at the point of measurement and intervention.
He trained in chemical and electrochemical engineering before moving into experimental neurophysiology and neural-interface engineering through research at the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research, the National Institute for Medical Research, The Francis Crick Institute and the University of Southampton. His earlier work contributed to fibre-based and scalable electrophysiology technologies for recording and stimulation in the mammalian brain.
At Imperial College London, he leads the Cancer Neurotechnology Lab. The group studies electrical and physicochemical features of the glioma–brain interface and develops multimodal methods for functional tissue measurement. His interests also include neuromorphic computation and non-von Neumann hardware for biomedical sensing and adaptive experimental systems.
Research culture
We value careful measurement, open discussion across disciplines and a clear account of what the evidence does, and does not, show. We want people to feel free to ask basic questions outside their home field, to document uncertainty and to learn from experiments that challenge an initial idea. The lab welcomes different technical backgrounds and routes into research.
