Biography

I completed my initial degree at the University of Cambridge in Natural Sciences (Experimental Psychology, Triple 1st) and then went on to study Medicine at the University of Oxford (preclinical) and University College London (clinical) qualifying in 2001. I subsequently went on to train in general medicine completing the Membership of the Royal College of Physicians exam in 2004. Following this I trained in Neurology at the Royal Free Hospital and the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery completing training in August 2014. I am now a Professor of Neurology at the UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology and Honorary Consultant Neurologist at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery. I became a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians in 2018.

Research Groups
Research Summary

My research has focused on biomarkers of frontotemporal dementia (FTD), particularly in relation to their underlying genetic causes. Research in the field of FTD has led to the publication of over 280 Pubmed-referenced papers and I speak regularly at national and international conferences about the work. Since 2011 I have co-ordinated the Genetic FTD Initiative, GENFI, a multicentre cohort study of presymptomatic genetic FTD (www.genfi.org). Since 2018 I have been co-lead for the worldwide FTD Prevention Initiative (www.thefpi.org). I have also set up FTD UK (www.ftduk.org), an annual scientific meeting of UK researchers who work in the FTD field (running since 2011), and run a website dedicated to providing research updates to the general public about FTD: FTD talk (www.ftdtalk.org).

Teaching Summary

I currently supervise 7 PhD students (5 primary, 2 secondary) as well as 2 MSc students.
