Angelika is a specialist registrar in Neurology with an interest in cognitive neurology and movement disorders. Her clinical and research interest is the aetiology, diagnosis and treatment of Lewy Body Disease. Specifically, her research aims to shed light on the neural correlates of visual hallucinations and cognitive fluctuations in Lewy Body Disease.

She qualified in Athens Medical School where she was awarded the Award of Excellency from the National Scholarships Foundation. Throughout her clinical training she has actively worked to improve services through various roles including completing the competitive National Medical Director’s Fellow Scheme where she worked in NHS England as part of the Specialised commissioning and NHS 5 year forward view teams. After gaining clinical experience in neurology at UCLH, East Kent and St George's hospitals, Angelika received her PhD from University College London, funded by an Alzheime r's Research UK Fellowship and supervised by Dr Rimona Weil and Professor Geraint Rees. Her work used multimodal neuroimaging, behavioural neuroscience and genetic expression analyses to shed light on the neural correlates of visual hallucinations in Parkinson's disease and Dementia with Lewy Bodies. She is now building further on this work, funded by Alzheimer’s Research UK at the Dementia Research centre: she will be using ultra-high field MRI and layer-specific imaging to further understand the mechanisms of hallucinations and cognitive fluctuations in Lewy Body Disease.
