Background

ROLE

I lead a research team dedicated to delineating and predicting the response to lithium in bipolar disorder. My clinical work is conducted at the Regional Affective Disorders Service, where I lead the inpatient facility. Within the Centre for In Vivo Imaging (CIVI), as Director of Â鶹´«Ã½ Magnetic Resonance Centre, I provide clinical leadership for the conduct of MRI studies.


RESEARCH OVERVIEW

My personal research programme revolves around determining the effects of lithium on the brain with respect to its distribution, using advanced imaging techniques such as 7Li-MRI. We are exploring whether imaging techniques used in combination with in-depth clinical profiling may better identify of those most likely to benefit from this important medication.

Research

RESEARCH INTERESTS


My principal research interests are in the application of magnetic resonance techniques to better understand basis, trajectory and treatment of psychiatric disorders. The majority of my work centers around bipolar disorder, a major psychiatric disorder associated with substantial morbidity and mortality.


I have an enduring interest in structural brain imaging, latterly with respect to determining drug effects and the identification of biomarkers in large scale studies. My research combining structural and quantitative imaging has provided novel interpretations of the effect of lithium on the brain, pertinent to its actions in bipolar disorder. I have conducted fMRI studies using stimulant models of mania to determine the effects of lithium on dopaminergic neurotransmitter systems and am investigating is actions on neurometabolite concentrations using proton spectroscopy.


Working closely with physicists at CIVI, we are developing optimised methods to image the distribution of 7Li in the brain. Brain 7Li distribution is heterogeneous and differs between individuals, but in a manner that may relate to its effects on the brain and ultimately with respect to response to treatment. We have combined 7Li-MRI with diffusion MRI techniques to successfully co-localise the distribution of a drug and its tissue level effects in its target organ. 7Li-MRI was central to a successful Horizon 2020 proposal () and we have established this technique in centres across Europe.


RESEARCH FUNDING

  • ISSF Funding (£30K) underpinning developmental work enabling the detection of brain lithium following dietary supplementation.
  • Milken Foundation (£200K) with Dresden for the BipoLith study of temporospatial pharmacokinetics of lithium in the brain.
  • ARUK (£50K) for the Imaging Lithium in Alzheimer's Disease (ILiAD) study.
  • Optimizing response to lithium treatment through personalized evaluation of individuals with bipolar I disorder: the R-LiNK initiative. SC1-PM-02-2017 Horizon 2020. €660K (€7.7M total for project) from January 2018 to December 2024.
  • Lithium magnetic resonance imaging in controls (LiMRIC): Reece Foundation. £10K from January 2018 to August 2019.
  • Bipolar Lithium Imaging and Spectroscopy Study (BLISS): Medical Research Council Clinician Scientist Fellowship. £1.3M from April 2014 to October 2020.
  • Lithium and methamphetamine studies (LAMP): Medical Research Council Clinical Research Training Fellowship. £220K from September 2006 to August 2009.



Teaching

I am Module Leader for MRes Ageing and Health MMB8004


I contribute to teaching on psychiatry and the role of imaging in clinical research on biomedical science courses (Disorders of the Nervous System module), Masters in Clinical Psychology and the MRes course (Ageing and Health as module leader).


I am a personal tutor for MBBS and undergraduate Psychology students, and welcome interest from those wishing to undertake research project placements.


I provide clinical training and supervision within CNTW Foundation Hospital Trust, and regularly lecture on the MRCPsych course (psychopharmacology and imaging) and Northern Centre for Mood Disorders Continuing Professional Development events.
