I am the Professor of Neurosurgical Oncology at the University of Cambridge and Co-Director of the Cambridge CRUK-Minderoo Brain Cancer Virtual Institute. My research interest involves the application of advanced MRI and PET imaging to understand invasive margins of gliomas and the impact this invasion has on normal brain function. I am the chief investigator for the multi-center PRaM-GBM (qualifying imaging biomarker to prtumortumour progression sites), SIND study (impact of tumors and surgery on normal brain functioning), SCARF-BT study (feasibility of emotional recognition rehabilitation in brain tumor patients) and Precision Surgery (an early phase surgical study of developing individualized resection targets for glioblastomas).
I am the former chair of the Imaging and Technology group of the National Cancer Research Institute’s Brain Tumour study group and the current neuro-oncology theme lead for the NIHR Brain Injury Medtech Co-operative. I am the lead for the British Neurosurgical Research Group. I have a strong interest in teaching and training as the Clinical Director of Studies for Queens’ College Cambridge, former Training Programme Director for the East of England Neurosurgical Training Programme. I am a current member of the UK Special Advisory Committee on Neurosurgical Training, where I lead on academic neurosurgical training.
