David Lester

DPhil Candidate

  • Jointly-funded MRC-MND Association clinical research training fellow
  • Neurology registrar

Overview

I qualified in medicine with distinction from Imperial College London, joined the Oxford neurology registrar training programme, and now work towards the completion of a DPhil under the supervision of Dr Alexander Thompson, Professor Martin Turner and Dr Avigail Taylor.

I use clinical data and data generated by experiments on patients' blood and spinal fluid samples to look for biomarkers of all kinds in motor neuron disease (MND, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, ALS). I am particularly interested in machine learning and survival analysis.
