Dr Elisabeth Rounis is a Consultant Neurologist and Stroke Physician at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust and a Clinical Academic Research Partnership (CARP) Fellow affiliated with the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit, University of Cambridge. Her research focuses on motor cognition and post-stroke disability, integrating computational modelling, quantitative behavioural analysis, and neurophysiology to understand how distributed brain networks support skilled movement. She has developed the UK’s largest behaviourally phenotyped apraxia cohort, investigating the mechanisms underlying limb apraxia and disorders of tool use. Her work also extends to neurodegenerative conditions, including corticobasal degeneration and frontotemporal dementia, to identify shared network mechanisms of impaired skilled action. Her programme aims to establish mechanism-based approaches to neurorehabilitation through interdisciplinary collaboration across clinical and computational neuroscience.

Research interests: motor cognition, tool use, apraxia, stroke recovery, neurodegeneration, computational neuroscience.
