Ben is a research fellow working in the Neuroscience, Trauma and Ophthalmology group within the Institute of Inflammation and Ageing. His research focuses on modelling and treating premature brain ageing following haemorrhagic stroke, with a particular focus on cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dynamics after subarachnoid haemorrhage.
He has a particular interest in developing organotypic models of tissues and disease processes, having developed and published novel models of gum disease in his PhD. Ben continues this theme through his postdoctoral research, using organotypic models of haemorrhagic stroke to trial new treatments to reduce advanced brain ageing and early death, commonly seen in patients suffering from subarachnoid haemorrhage.
He regularly trains BSc, MSci and PhD students in a range of experimental techniques, including in vitro and ex vivo skills. He also has experience in directly supervising PhD students, BMedSc biomedical materials science and BSc biomedical science research projects.
