I am currently a Neurosurgical trainee (Resident) at Oxford University Hospitals. I have started research into using imaging techniques to compare the resection outcomes for glioblastoma. In particular I am interested in comparing the use of different surgical adjuncts such pre-operative diffusion tractography and intra-operative fluorescence on resection and patient outcomes. I am also investigating the use of imaging biomarkers for glioma resectability, to help create imaging datasets for prospective clinical registries for tumour patients.
