Rob is a professor of Neuroradiology at the University of Nottingham and an Honorary Consultant Neuroradiologist at Queen’s Medical Centre, Nottingham. Rob has major research interests in the use of imaging to provide outcome measures for clinical trials, and in the application of neuroimaging techniques to characterise pathophysiological mechanisms of neurological disability and cognitive dysfunction. During his PhD Rob used advanced MRI to study the mechanisms of cognitive dysfunction in MS. Rob has developed this interest by using quantitative neuroimaging to explore functional deficits, particularly in cognitive processing, in different diseases including brain tumours and stroke, and has recently led a MS Society-funded feasibility RCT on image guided neuromodulation for improving cognition in people with MS. Rob has been the neuroimaging lead and trial steering committee member for a number of large multicentre randomised controlled trials including NIHR-HTA- funded TICH-2, TICH-3, and TARDIS trials, NIHR-RfPB funded DASH and DECISIVE trials, and the RCR-funded ProFATE trial.
