Profiles of Women in Science: Dorothy Tse, Reader in Psychology at Edge Hill University, Ormskirk, England

Dr Dorothy Tse is a Reader in the Department of Psychology at Edge Hill University. She completed her PhD at the University of Edinburgh and is recognised for her research on the neurobiology of memory, with a particular focus on how prior knowledge (schemas) and novelty shape memory networks, and previously shared some of this work through EJN (Benoy & Tse, 2025; Broadbent et al., 2020). Her work has advanced our understanding of how new information is assimilated into existing schemas. More recently, she has used approaches including translational behavioural paradigms, virtual reality, and mobile EEG to develop tools that support healthy ageing. Dr Tse has received the Academy of Medical Sciences Springboard Award and the Alzheimer’s Research UK Inspire Fund, and she was selected to join the prestigious FENS-Kavli Network of Excellence. She also serves as Co-Chair of the Programme Committee for the British Neuroscience Association (BNA) 2025 and 2027 International Festival of Neuroscience and is the founder of the Liverpool Neuroscience Early Career Researcher Group. Beyond academia, Dr Tse has led impactful public engagement initiatives such as Healthy Ageing with an Active Mind, co-created with communities and charities. Her work exemplifies a deep commitment to ensuring that neuroscience research not only advances theory but also delivers meaningful societal benefit Supplementary Material File (tseprofile_ejn_final.docx) - Download - 171.77 KB Information & Authors Information Version history Peer review timeline Published European Journal of Neuroscience Version of Record7 Jan 2026Published Copyright This work is licensed under a Non Exclusive No Reuse License.
