Holmes lab
Keywords: magnetic resonance imaging, MRI physics, cardiovascular flow, glymphatic transport, stroke, vascular dementia
My name is William Holmes: I am Senior Research Fellow in the School of Psychology & Neuroscience. My group reseraches novel magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methods for biomedical research.
MRI is a powerful and flexible technology that has revolutionised diagnostic medicine, allowing detailed assessment of pathology and function. My research group aims to push the boundaries of MRI physics by pioneering novel methods for the in-vivo imaging of animal disease models, to further understand the mechanisms of disease and develop therapeutic strategies. My current research interests include cardiovascular flow, glymphatic transport, stroke and vascular dementia.
