Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNick Puts is a Reader in Sensory Neuroscience at King’s College London with over a decade of experience investigating inhibitory dysfunction and tactile processing in neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism, ADHD, and Tourette syndrome. He combines psychophysics, edited MRS of GABA, MEG and behavioral paradigms to link neurotransmitter concentrations to measurable aspects of touch perception, and has contributed to widely used MRS tools such as the Gannet package. As Director of the KCL Health Sciences Doctoral Training Centre he shapes doctoral training while supervising PhD research in translational neurodevelopmental science. His background spans international research roles at Johns Hopkins and Max Planck, and includes leadership experience from co-presiding the Johns Hopkins Postdoctoral Association. Beyond the lab he is active in science communication, public outreach and university governance, with multiple awards for presentation excellence. A less obvious strength is his interdisciplinary fluency—from neural network models of sequence learning to hands-on MRS acquisition—which helps bridge methods across cognitive neuroscience and clinical research.
