Title:Professor
MBBCh, PhD, FRCP, FRCPath
Professor of Neurology
I was appointed to the Chair of Neurology, Blizard Institute, Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry, in November 2006. In September 2008, I took over as the Neuroscience and Trauma Centre Lead in the Blizard Institute.
I did my undergraduate medical training at the University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa. I graduated cum laude in 1987 winning the prizes for best graduate in medicine and surgery. After completing my neurology specialist training in in South Africa I moved to the Institute of Neurology, Queen Square, London in 1993.
After three years as a clinical research fellow, under Professor Ed Thompson, and then two years as the Scarfe Lecturer, working for Professor W. Ian McDonald, I was awarded a PhD in immunology from the University of London in 1998.
I was appointed as a Clinical Senior Lecturer, Royal Free and University College Medical School, in 1998. I moved back to Institute of Neurology, Queen Square in 1999 and was made a Reader in Neuroimmunology in 2004.
My clinical interests are multiple sclerosis and other inflammatory disorders of the central nervous system. I am particularly interested in clinical issues related to optimising MS disease modifying therapies.
My current research is focused on Epstein Barr virus as a possible cause of multiple sclerosis, multiple sclerosis related neurodegeneration, biomarker discovery and immune tolerance strategies.
