Peter JezzardProfessor Jezzard’s FMRIB Physics Group, part of the Wellcome Centre for Integrative Neiroimaging, develops novel physiological MRI methods for the study of healthy and diseased brain. He trained in physics in the UK, before joining the National Insttutes of Health, USA, between 1991-1998. Since 1998 he has been based at the University of Oxford, UK. He is particularly interested in techniques for mapping the macroscopic and microscopic neurovasculature, and collaborates closely with various clinical groups, in particular through the Oxford Acute Vascular Imaging Centre (AVIC), on the development of rapid imaging approaches to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of stroke and cerebrovascular disease. A second thread of his research aims to advance ultra-high field imaging. This research combines novel imaging hardware, including parallel RF transmission, with state-of-the-art acquisition techniques. He holds leadership roles in several imaging centres within Oxford, and has been active in the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine in a range of capacities, including as President from 2013-2014.
