Dr Stephen F. Carter PhD As a cognitive neuroscientist my principal research interest is understanding the pathological cascade of Alzheimer’s disease in humans primarily with PET biomarkers of amyloid and tau. My research uses techniques that include high-resolution neur...
Dr Jonathan Coles As a clinician specialising within Neurointensive care my research interests are focused on describing the pathophysiology of head injury and optimising patient outcome. Using the combined facilities of the Wolfson Brain Imaging and Neurosciences ...
Dr Tony Coll My current research continues to focus upon the roles of the hypothalamus in the control of energy balance. Our current understanding of the central control of appetite has relied heavily upon mouse models and I continue to utilise the power of b...
Dr Natalia del Campo My research focuses on the optimisation and application of multi-modal neuroimaging techniques to identify the neurobiological mechanisms underlying psychiatric conditions and associated cognitive deficits. One aspect I am particularly interested ...
Professor Thanasis Fokas PhD-MD Analytical algorithms for several medical imaging techniques including PAT, SPECT, MEG, EEG.
Dr Tim Fryer My research concentrates on positron emission tomography (PET) methodology, with particular emphasis on the quantitative accuracy of the physiological parameters derived from the data.
Current research themes are:
parametric mapping using b...
Dr Young T. Hong My main research area is developing mathematical models and numerical techniques in analysis of positron emission tomography (PET) data. Most of the PET images are obtained for acute head injury, psychiatry and neurology clinical research.
Mr Simon Jones Imaging analysis and study design in Dr James Rowe's Group. Mainly looking at impulsivity in Parkinson's disease, stroke and dementia using structutral MR, PET and fMRI.
Dr Antonina Kouli I am a Research Associate interested in neuroinflammation and its role in neurodegenerative diseases. My research focuses on characterizing the inflammatory changes in PD and evaluating their relationship with dementia and other symptoms. This wor...
Dr Olympia Koulouri Olympia is a Clinical Lecturer in Endocrinology at the Wellcome Trust-MRC Institute of Metabolic Science.
Her PhD studies, under the supervision of Dr Mark Gurnell and Dr Nadia Schoenmakers, focused on central disorders of thyroid function.

Elijah Mak I am a Gates Cambridge scholar working on my PhD at the Department of Psychiatry. Broadly, my research interest relates to the use of multi-modal neuroimaging techniques to characterise structural and functional deficits in dementia and related co...
Professor David Menon The research program of the University Division of Anaesthesia has aimed to understand regional cerebral pathophysiology to advance the care of critically ill patients after brain injury, from initial ictus, through recovery from coma and rehabili...
Dr Nicolas Nicastro I am a Swiss board-certified Neurologist with a strong interest in dementia and movement disorders.
My research focuses on molecular PET/SPECT and structural MRI imaging in dementia with Lewy bodies and Parkinson disease, especially as early diag...
Mr Stephen Price My group uses advanced multimodal MR and PET imaging to understand the heterogeneity of gliomas (high and low grade) in individual patients. We know that gliomas are among the most heterogeneous tumours but still do not have a method of detecting ...
Dr Agatha van der Klaauw I am currently working with Professor Sadaf Farooqi at the Institute of Metabolic Science. We use a number of genetic approaches, including whole-exome sequencing, to identify novel genes involved in hypothalamic development in patients with sever...
Dr Elizabeth Warburton Research interests are as follows
1. Molecular imaging of atheroma - particularly carotid plaque imaging using PET/CT and MRI techniques. Both Clinical and microPET imaging. Proof of principle trials of novel atheroma drugs with imaging biomarker...
Orla Woodward The number of people living with obesity has tripled worldwide since 1975 with serious implications for public health. As obesity is a consequence of food intake exceeding energy expenditure, efforts are being made to better understand the neuroen...
