Martin Graves

Professor Martin Graves is Professor of Magnetic Resonance Physics at the University of Cambridge, holding appointments within the School of Clinical Medicine and Department of Radiology. Since 1996, he has led the MRI Physics group at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge and serves as Honorary Consultant Clinical Scientist for the NHS. His primary institutional affiliation is with the Cambridge Mathematics of Information in Healthcare (CMIH) Hub at the Centre for Mathematical Sciences.

His research focuses on advanced magnetic resonance imaging techniques with particular emphasis on hyperpolarized carbon-13 MRI for metabolic imaging applications. Key research areas include cardiac imaging for myocardial infarction assessment, cancer metabolism studies in renal cell carcinoma and ovarian cancer, neuroimaging of brain metabolism, and development of quantitative MRI methodologies. His work bridges physics, clinical medicine, and computational analysis to address diagnostic challenges in cardiovascular disease, oncology, and neurology.

Analysis of his recent publications (2021-2025) reveals strong trends in hyperpolarized pyruvate imaging for cancer treatment monitoring, radiomics for plaque vulnerability assessment, and technical innovations in zero echo-time MRI. His research consistently targets clinical translation of advanced MRI techniques, with substantial focus on quantitative biomarkers for early treatment response assessment.
