Biography

I am an expert in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS). My group develop advanced MRI and MRS methods usnig the 7T Terra MRI scanner at the Wolfson Brain Imaging Centre. Our aim is to push the boundaries of MRI techniques, and to translate the latest methods ready for use in clinical studies in collaboration with colleagues in Clinical Neurosciences and elsewhere. My work in Cambridge has a particular focus on applications in the human brain.

I hold a Wellcome Trust Sir Henry Dale Fellowship. This also funds work by my group at the University of Oxford, who develop and translate advanced 7T MRI and MRS methods to study metabolism in the human heart and liver.

I am a work-package leader in the EU-funded "Non-invasive Chemistry Imaging in the Whole Human Body" (NICI) consortium.

I was made "Associate Professor of Biomedical Imaging" at Univ Oxford in 2016. I will become "Reader in Biomedical Imaging" at Univ Cambridge from Oct 2020.

Research interests

I have a particular interest in developing novel methods in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS). I lead the ultra-high field MRI methods research group at the Wolfson Brain Imaging Centre.
