During this time I was employed on three grants: Jan 2005 – Dec 2006: Working jointly for Philips Medical Systems and Manchester University of Manchester, supporting collaborative MRI projects, developing image analysis software for quantitative arterial flow and assessment of kidney oxygenation. Jul 2002 – Dec 2004: Wellcome Trust project on cognitive impairment in the elderly: I performed statistical and image analysis, including quantification of cerebral atrophy, grey matter thickness and blood flow velocity from MRI. Nov 2000 – Jun 2002: Research into Ageing project investigating vascular depression in the elderly: I provided software development, image and statistical analysis and maintenance of the results database.

* Recent achievements include: * 2011: CT 3D Volume: Took on the management of this clinically-led external collaboration investigating use of 3D tumour volume for response assessment. Project was successfully delivered Sep 2011. * 2010: Identified unmet informatics needs around data management and back-up; worked with Tessella to contract a specialist into the group for 6 months; supervised contractor in implementation of solutions. * 2010: Foetal Abnormality project: Worked with Imaging and Safety Assessment groups to develop analysis workflow for visualising foetal abnormalities on CT and MRI images. * 2009-2010: OE-MRI: Drove study design and delivered image analysis of oxygen-enhanced MRI of pre-clinical tumour models. * 2008-2009: Project Vista: Working with the Project Vista team to manage the deployment of Vista computers (including ensuring that the appropriate software was available) to the Imaging, Antibodies and ASTL Computational Biology groups.

Responsible for establishing a centralised imaging expertise for delivery against immunohistochemical and in-situ hybridisation tissue diagnostic assays for use in prospective patient selection for clinical trials.
