Prof. Lynsey Duffel

Dr. Lynsey Duffell is a Clinical Scientist and an Associate Professor within the Department of Medical Physics & Biomedical Engineering at University College London. Her research aims to improve health and quality of life for people with long standing health conditions, with a particular focus on Spinal Cord Injury (SCI). Dr Duffell has a long-standing interest in neuromodulation combined with activity-based therapy for neuroplastic recovery after SCI and has lead several clinical trials involving Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) and Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) combined with upper and lower limb neurorehabilitation after SCI. Dr Duffell has also been PI and Co-I on clinical trials investigating the potential benefits of neuromodulation, including SCS and Dorsal Genital Nerve Stimulation, on bladder and bowel function after SCI. Dr Duffell’s research lab forms part of the Aspire Centre for Rehabilitation Engineering and Assistive Technology (CREATe) and the London Spinal Cord Injury Research Centre, based at the RNOH in Stanmore.
