Salil Patel

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 using machine learning methods and ocular biomarkers to investigate Parkinson's disease and other Parkinsonian disorders. These diseases are heterogenous, with a multitude of clinical phenotypes.

By using novel computational methods, alongside ocular data, we probe such symptom phenotypes. This has the potential to aid diagnosis, monitoring and the discovery of novel treatments – both symptomatic and disease-modifying in nature.
