During my PhD, I studied hemodynamic and structural changes during sepsis-associated encephalopathy by combining imaging techniques with histological analysis. Currently, I am investigating the neuroprotective effects of selected bioactive molecules using both in vivo and in vitro neuroinflammatory models.

Orthopaedic and Neuro Rehabilitation

Physiotherapy

I’m currently working as a consultant psychiatrist within the psychological medicine pathway of two persistent pain services (which focus on functional rehabilitation, and link in between primary and secondary care).

I work at the geriatric and pediatric neurology units, the child guidance clinic, the chronic pain clinic and the balance and gait lab. A few of the tests I conduct are clinical tests of sensory integration and balance (CTSIB), postural stability tests and motor control tests using dynamic posturography (Biodex Balance Master, USA). I conduct kinematic gait analyses using GaitRite, treadmill gait analysis. The training includes feedback based balance and gait training. Patients with Parkinson disease, PSP, HD, SCA, dementias, strokes, and neuromuscular disorders are included.
My research Interests :
Chronic low back pain management through Pain neuroscience education. and Neuro rehabilitation for stroke, parkinson diseases to improve balance and mobility outcome. Also,family empowered care to improve functional outcome in cerebral palsy .

I’m a clinician. I mainly work in the clinical setting, but I have special interests in neuropathic pain and pain education.

I work in the Pain and Averse Learning lab under Prof. Ben Seymour on computational models for the neurological mechanisms of tonic pain, and modulating these mechanisms via neurostimulation (primarily non-invasive, eg. TUS and TMS) for clinical use.

I study the neural mechanisms that underly nociception, central sensitization, pain processing and modulation. I am also interested in understanding the signs and symptoms that accompany many clinical pain states. My approach consists of combining neuroimaging (MRI) with a range of neuromodulation techniques including non-invasive brain stimulation and peripheral stimulation. This work aims to translate research between experimental human studies and clinical science, with a view to identifying new therapeutics, medical devices, and diagnostics.
