Staff | Oxford-Nottingham Biomedical Imaging CDT

	Prof. Peter Jezzard (University of Oxford) : EPSRC-MRC ONBI CDT Programme Director Peter trained as a physicist at Manchester, before undertaking a PhD in Cambridge in magnetic resonance imaging. He subsequently worked at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland, before returning to the UK to work in Oxford. He is currently based at the John Radcliffe Hospital, where he holds the Chair in Neuroimaging, and continues to develop new methods to study human physiology using MRI. He also directs the Oxford Biomedical Imaging Network, and organizes the annual Oxford Biomedical Imaging Festival. email \| webpage
	Prof. Penny Gowland (University of Nottingham) : Associate Director Penny is based at the Sir Peter Mansfield Magnetic Resonance Centre in Nottingham, where she conducts research in magnetic resonance imaging. She is particularly interested in the capabilities of functional and anatomical ultra-high field MRI in neuroscience. She is also the physics lead on a unique interdisciplinary project to study aspects of gastrointestinal function with MRI. Penny is also interested in imaging human development, particulary in the fetus. email \| webpage
	Prof. Ilan Davis (University of Oxford) : Associate Director Ilan is an expert in light microscopy, and uses imaging to study how molecules are sorted and kept at their correct destinations within cells. For example, how mRNA localization and translational regulation target proteins to their site of function and facilitate memory and learning in the nervous system. Ilan also directs the Micron Oxford Advanced Bioimaging Unit that is located in the Dept of Biochemistry and the Dunn School of Pathology in Oxford. email \| webpage
	Prof. David Gavaghan (University of Oxford) : Associate Director David has a wide range of research interests in the application of mathematical and computational techniques in medicine and biology and in the related basic sciences. He is Professor of Computational Biology in the Computing Laboratory and has been in Oxford since 1986. email \| webpage
	Prof. Michael Chappell (University of Nottingham) : Associate Director and Director of Training Michael heads the Quantitative Biomedical Inference group that brings together inference techniques from information engineering with mathematical models of physics and physiology to estimate quantitative information for biomedical and especially clinical applications. His main interest is in medical imaging of metabolism and haemodynamics email \| webpage
