My research career has focused on the development of translatable imaging techniques for non-invasive assessment of brain function using MRI. In 2010, I completed my PhD in MRI physics supervised by Dr David Thomas and Prof Roger Ordidge. I then moved to the UCL Centre for Advanced Biomedical Imaging, developing methods for combined fMRI and optogenetics. In 2014, I worked as a Post-Doctoral Fellow at the National Institute of Radiological Sciences in Chiba, Japan. In 2016 I was responsible for running the new MSc in Advanced Biomedical Imaging at UCL. In 2017, I began a Wellcome Trust/Royal Society Sir Henry Dale Fellowship centered on imaging CSF-mediated brain clearance pathways. In 2022 I was awarded a Wellcome Trust Career Development Award to understand the role of the choroid plexus in the development of dementia using non-invasive MRI techniques.
