I received my MD from the Semmelweis Medical School, Budapest, Hungary. I was trained in neuropathology at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, London and received membership in the Royal College of Pathologists in 1990. I have been professor of Neuropathology since 2005. I have also been an honorary consultant neuropathologist at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, Queen Square London since 1991.

I am the neuropathologist lead of the Queen Square Brain Bank, which is the largest movement disorder brain bank in the UK and have a research interest in neurodegenerative diseases. I have published over 190 peer-reviewed papers.

I currently hold grants from the Alzheimer’s Research Trust, Sarah Matheson Trust for MSA and am a co-applicant on a recent successful Wellcome Trust – Medical Research Council application for support for research in Parkinson’s disease.
