Biosketch
Associate professor Bogdan Draganski, native Bulgarian, is Consultant in Neurology at the Department of Clinical Neurosciences, University Hospital of Lausanne, Switzerland, Director of the neuroimaging laboratory LREN and the departmental MRI platform. After qualifying in Clinical Neurology in Germany he spent time working on computational anatomy research in neuropsychiatric disorders at the Institute of Neurology, UCL London, UK followed by research at the Max-Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences, Leipzig Germany.
Professor Draganski’s ongoing projects are in the field of brain health and disease with emphasis on the identification of lifetime factors affecting individual's brain health. His wide-ranging research interests cover a broad range of neuropsychiatric disorders across the lifespan.
