Current Appointments
Founding Director, Centre for the Developing Brain, King’s College London
The Centre was founded at Imperial College London to develop the work of the successful MRC Clinical Sciences Centre (CSC) Neonatal Medicine Group. The MRC provided funding that allowed the Centre to transfer to a new purpose-built research facility in King’s College London, which was formally opened by the Chief Medical Officer, Dame Sally Davies FRS with the Director of the Wellcome Trust, Sir Mark Walport FRS in 2013.
The Centre has 4 full-time, 1 part-time, and 1 honorary professors, and about 90 research staff, and continues to develop, with 3 recently appointed Lecturers and 3 new Senior Lecturers. It conducts bench-to-bedside research focused on neonatal brain injury and neural rescue, as well as active training and public involvement programmes. In addition to grants held by the Director, senior members have obtained programme funding from the Wellcome Trust, the Leducq foundation, and EPSRC.
