My research focus is on MS, using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to better understand the evolution of pathology in life, and how this translates into neurological and cognitive impairments. I undertake this with a view to expediting the development of effective treatments (in particular those designed to promote remyelination and slow or prevent progressive MS), and providing people with MS with more robust and individualised prognostic information that can inform treatment choices.
1. Investigating the evolution and consequences of grey matter and superficial white matter pathology;
2. Understanding the effects of MS pathology on brain networks;
3. Developing novel MRI biomarkers for use in clinical studies and treatment trials (mostly in progressive MS or testing potential promoters of remyelination);
4. Identifying MRI prognostic markers.
I teach undergraduate and postgraduate students, and have supervised or co-supervised BSc, MSc, PhD and MD students’ research. I am the Lead for Electives and an MB BS Tutor at UCL Medical School.
