Aneurin Kennerley

Dr. Aneurin Kennerley is an Associate Professor in Neuroscience at Manchester Metropolitan University. His research focuses on neuroimaging techniques, particularly MRI applications for understanding neurovascular coupling, tumor biology, and neurodegenerative diseases. He has contributed to advancements in sodium MRI for cancer diagnosis, hyperpolarized MRI for theranostics, and real-time imaging of physiological systems.

Key research areas include:

• Development of MRI-based biomarkers for neurological and oncological conditions
• Investigation of cerebral blood flow dynamics and neurovascular mechanisms
• Engineering of magnetic drug delivery systems for targeted therapies

His work spans preclinical and clinical studies, with notable contributions to sodium MRI for breast cancer assessment, photobiomodulation effects on aging brains, and novel imaging contrast agents. He collaborates across disciplines in biomedical engineering, oncology, and neurology.

Recent studies highlight innovations in real-time functional imaging, nanomagnetic drug targeting, and cross-species validation of neuroimaging protocols. His research bridges fundamental neuroscience with translational medical applications.
