I undertook research at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery and have published internationally cited papers on functional brain imaging in urology and neuromodulation. I was the lead author on the multinational trial of cannabis for overactive bladder in MS.
My research has led to internationally recognised prizes and awards.
