Mitul MehtaMitul Mehta joined King’s College London as a post-doctoral researcher in Neuroimaging in 2003 with the aim of setting up a research group focused on pharmacological neuroimaging using MRI methodology. He worked with positron emission tomography at Iperial College for a number of years as an MRC Training Fellow before moving to King’s. A Wellcome Trust Value in People Award enabled the transition. His work was recognised by the British Association for Psychopharmacology Young Investigator Award. At King’s his group brought quantitative methods to identify drug mechanisms and classify different compounds and used classic tracking methods (phMRI) to develop assays of drug modulation. These methods are utilised to understand existing compounds as well as assay novel compounds and we have tested various mechanisms, including in collaboration with the pharmaceutical industry.
