Research Summary
I am a DPhil student at the University of Oxford and NIHR academic clinical fellow (ACF) in radiology at Guy's and St Thomas', London.
My research focuses on probing the relationship between the brain and the eyes in healthy and disease states. I use eye movements and brain imaging to better understand this relationship, building models and theories.
I have a particular interest in neurodegenerative conditions - especially Parkinson's disease and other Parkinsonian disorders. These diseases are heterogenous, with a multitude of clinical phenotypes.
By using novel computational methods, we probe such phenotypes. This has the potential to aid diagnosis, monitoring and the discovery of novel treatments – both symptomatic and disease-modifying in nature.
