Dr.(Prof.) Steve C R Williams

My lab is focused on the research and development of neuroimaging techniques from basic science to clinical application. We aspire to making brain imaging an essential clinical tool in both neurology and psychiatry as we devise innovative imaging methods to measure brain structure, function, physiology and metabolism. These safe, non-invasive imaging methods allow us to gain a better understanding of the patient’s brain biology which can aid diagnosis and inform the development of novel treatment strategies. Our current research includes the development of a dedicated, head-only MR system as well as quick and quiet imaging approaches to help the assessment of some of our most challenging and unwell patient populations. I also lead the Department of Neuroimaging and the Centre for Neuroimaging Sciences based at the South London and Maudsley Hospital. Please see my Research Staff Profile for more detail.
