Using neuroimaging and big data to understand chronic diseases.
I am a Clinical Research Fellow at the Centre for Prevention of Stroke and Dementia within the Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences. I am interested in optimising outcomes and identifying effective treatments. I use neuroimaging methods to measure and predict treatment efficacy. I also work with clinical and MRI data from UK Biobank to better phenotype diseases and understand disease mechanisms.
