MBChB MSc MRCPsych

Associate Professor, R&D Director Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust

Honorary Senior Clinical Research Fellow, University of Edinburgh
Honorary Consultant Psychiatrist

My clinical and research interests are in traumatic brain injury, and memory disorders and dementia, as well as clinical trials in cognitive impairment, having worked for over 25 years in clinical trials in the UK and US.

I am currently the Principal Investigator for the Synaptic Health in Neurodegeneration (SHINE) and Brains for Dementia Research (BDR) studies and multiple commercial early and late phase dementia clinical trials. I am Chief Investigator on the Deep and Frequent Phenotyping (DFP) study, a NHIR-funded study assessing the use of sertraline to prevent post-head injury depression (STOP-D) and am co-lead for the REAl world Dementia OUTcomes (READ-OUT) blood biomarker study that is part of the Alzheimer's Research UK Blood Biomarker Challenge. I am an associate director of Dementia Platforms UK, and workstream lead for the Trials Delivery Framework. I serve as a Commissioner for the Commission on Human Medicines and am co-Deputy Chair of the NIHR Dementia Translational Research Collaboration.
