Peter Jezzard

Professorial Fellow; Herbert Dunhill Professor of Neuroimaging; Vice-Master

Teaching

My position is predominantly a research one, and so I do not teach undergraduates in the College. I also currently run a Centre for Doctoral Training in Biomedical Imaging, and so undertake some graduate teaching as part of that role.

Research

I trained as a physicist and then subsequently worked on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for my PhD studies. Since completing my PhD I have spent over two decades working on the development of MRI methodology and its application to biomedicine, firstly at the National Institutes of Health (USA), and since 1998 in Oxford. My focus is on the development of techniques to achieve quantitative functional and physiological measurements in the human brain, with a recent emphasis on applications in neurovascular disease. I served as President of the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine in 2013-2014.
