We are looking for an enthusiastic and dynamic candidate who will provide day to day scientific project management and clinical trials operations support to Professor Edison, to ensure the successful delivery of the studies and other research initiatives.
The purpose of the post is to facilitate research activities at Imperial College Memory Research Centre under Professor Paul Edison to deliver cutting edge research.
You will be involved in coordinating with study investigators, patients and the wider public for the delivery of novel and cutting-edge intervention studies. The research programme focuses on interventional and observational studies in different neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, mild cognitive impairment, vascular dementia and other causes of dementia and cognitive impairment. The unit focuses on cutting-edge technologies of PET, MRI, and CSF markers to evaluate neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration. We heavily focus on basic and translational imaging using PET and MRI in early-phase studies, evaluating novel therapeutic targets in dementia and cognitive impairment in Phase 1 and Phase 2/3 studies and lead international studies. We are evaluating novel microglial and other PET imaging agents to understand the pathophysiology of ageing, neurodegenerative diseases including mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease. Additionally, the unit uses state of the art techniques in PET and MRI in clinical and diagnostic evaluation of people with memory problems.
Edison lab is highly productive and publishes high impact articles in Nature Medicine, Lancet Neurology, Nature Reviews Neurology, The BMJ (The British Medical Journal), Brain, Nature portfolio journals, Neurology, Annals of Neurology, Molecular Psychiatry, etc
