  • Kevin Brindle – Reflections on a lifetime in imaging research

    Kevin Brindle – Reflections on a lifetime in imaging research
    Oct 2 2024
    Professor Kevin Brindle joins Ellie Wolmark to discuss his life's work in imaging research as he reaches retirement. Kevin is particularly interested in metabolic imaging. His research group has developed novel magnetic resonance-based molecular imaging techniques to detect the early responses of tumours to therapy, with a view to translating these into clinical application. He talks about how he got into this topic in the first place, his amazing contributions to the field over the past four decades, and about how his techniques can be translated into the clinic to impact patient treatment. Kevin is Emeritus Professor of Biomedical Magnetic Resonance in the Department of Biochemistry and a Senior Group Leader in the CRUK Cambridge Institute at the University of Cambridge, UK. He is also a Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences and of the Royal Society.
