🧠 Neurologist & Internal Medicine physician on an NIHR academic training programme at the University of Cambridge 🔬 I have a PhD in stem cell neurobiology and my research focuses on the application of longevity medicine to the realm of neurological health and disease 🧬 Experienced in big data analytics, clinical trials & wet-lab research 🎹 Jazz pianist and composer 🌍 Open for collaboration!
I study the impact of age and biological age on brain repair in the Cambridge Clinical Multiple Sclerosis Research Group headed by Prof Alasdair Coles. I am PI for for the "Ageing in MS" theme, where we assess how biological ageing relates to remyelination, axonal health and clinical outcomes. I serve as a co-investigator on the CCMR Two trial, an exciting endeavour that evaluates the effectiveness of metformin, a promising gerotherapeutic drug, in combination with clemastine for promoting remyelination in individuals living with multiple sclerosis (NCT05131828).
Selected to take part in the inaugural cohort of this scheme to equip neuroscientists with skills in entrepreneurship, innovation, and translating research into impact.
Affiliated researcher at the Karolinska Institute, working with Prof Sara Hägg in the Department of Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics. My project used population datasets to quantify how clinical and epigenetic measures of biological age can predict neurological health and disease.
Visiting researcher at the Queen Square Multiple Sclerosis Centre with Dr Declan Chard. I gained skills in MRI analysis and led a project studying MRI Brain Age during brain repair in multiple sclerosis.
