Jane Adcock

Jane Adcock is a Consultant Neurologist at John Radcliffe Hospital Oxford and an Honorary Senior Clinical Research Fellow at the Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences, University of Oxford, serving as Clinical Lead for the Oxford Epilepsy and Epilepsy Surgery Programme since 2010.

Her educational background includes:

• Bachelor of Medicine (B.Med)
• Doctor of Medicine (MD)

Dr. Adcock's research centers on epilepsy, utilizing multi-modal brain imaging and immune approaches to investigate structural/functional brain differences in intractable epilepsy. Her dual focus on identifying surgical outcome predictors through advanced neuroimaging and characterizing auto-antibody roles in focal epilepsy positions her at the intersection of clinical neurology and precision medicine, aiming to develop individually-tailored treatments for refractory cases.

Analysis of her publications reveals consistent emphasis on translating imaging biomarkers (7T MRI, fMRI, MRS) into clinical epilepsy management while pioneering auto-antibody screening protocols to expand immunotherapy eligibility. This work bridges neuroimaging innovation with neuroimmunological discovery to redefine treatment paradigms.

Her scientific recognition includes:

• Sir Desmond Pond Fellowship by Epilepsy Research Foundation UK

Research funding is secured from British Medical Association, Epilepsy Research UK, HDH Wills 1965 Trust, and OUP John Fell Fund. She leads the Epilepsy Imaging Research Group and maintains strategic collaborations with FMRIB Centre's Dr. Natalie Voets on neuroimaging and Professor Angela Vincent's team on neuroimmunology, integrating clinical expertise with cutting-edge laboratory science.

The Epilepsy Imaging Research Group operates within NDCN's collaborative ecosystem, leveraging Oxford's neuroimaging infrastructure to advance surgical planning and biomarker discovery while maintaining strong ties with the Oxford Epilepsy Research Group for translational impact.
