Research

My research sits at the interface between neuroscience, medical imaging and genetics. I explore novel research paradigms to bring value to the brain imaging component of the UK Biobank (UKB) study, the largest human brain imaging study ever conducted. UKB data is used to link imaging measurements to genetic modifications and track brain development before and after disease onset.

During my DPhil, I developed a range of data acquisition protocols and software tools for MRI and microscopy, which I am now using to characterise mouse models with modifications in genes relevant to UKB.
