Biography

I head the Sleep and Brain Plasticity Centre, where our mission is to generate new understanding of mechanisms behind serious neurological and psychiatric disorders, and to propose their treatment and prevention through utilisation of sleep neurobiology. I am also a consultant neuropsychiatrist specialising in sleep and have received a Wellcome Trust award for research into unravelling the mechanisms of sleep, neuroplasticity and inflammation, making use of clinical and preclinical imaging experiments.
