Biography
My research concerns Parkinson's Disease and in particular, pioneering work on defining non-motor symptoms and non-motor phenotypes of Parkinson's disease. I am considered a world leader in non-motor aspects of Parkinson's people-based research. To date, I have published over 350 peer-reviewed papers, several book chapters on Parkinson's Disease, restless legs syndrome and dystonia. I am also the director of Parkinson's Foundation Centre of Excellence at King's, Research Director and Assistant Medical Director at King's College Hospital.
