معرفی
Ben Dickie is a Senior Lecturer (Neuroimaging) and Pharmacy Research Fellow affiliated with the Division of Informatics, Imaging & Data Sciences. His primary research focuses on neuroimaging techniques, blood-brain barrier dynamics, Alzheimer’s disease, and stroke pathophysiology. He holds a Ph.D. in 2017 on predicting cancer patient survival using dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI.
Research Interests: His work integrates advanced MRI modalities to study cerebrovascular diseases, novel thrombolytics in stroke models, and nanoparticle delivery systems for brain tumors. Key areas include neuroimaging biomarkers, blood-brain barrier permeability, and translational applications of graphene-based electrophysiology probes for concurrent EEG-fMRI.
Recent Publications: Recent studies highlight MRI-based detection of blood-brain barrier alterations in Alzheimer’s and lung infection models, thrombolytic efficacy comparisons in murine stroke, and targeted nanoparticle delivery post-surgery. His work emphasizes bridging imaging technologies with clinical applications in neurology and oncology.
Grants & Projects: Co-Investigator on projects like 3D-printed phantoms for MR-guided radiotherapy (2022–2025) and cerebral water exchange studies (2019–2023). These explore radiation therapy innovations and vascular dynamics in neurological disorders.
Collaborations & Platforms: Affiliated with the Digital Futures and Christabel Pankhurst Institute, contributing to UN SDG goals in health innovation and sustainable solutions for neurological diseases.
