The Council of the Anatomical Society and the Epilepsy Research Institute UK are delighted to share that the co-funded PhD (Epilepsy Research Institute UK/Anatomical Society) has been awarded to: Professor Chris Rodgers and Dr Thomas Cope at the University of Cambridge. In this co-funded studentship, improved ultra-high field MRI techniques will be developed. These enhanced imaging techniques aim to reveal tiny brain abnormalities responsible for epilepsy, helping more patients access curative surgery without invasive testing. Massive congratulations!
