My research focusses on preclinical models of neuromodulation therapies. I have studied the mechanism of action of sacral neuromodulation
in the treatment of faecal incontinence during short- and long-term stimulation. My current research area is neuromodulation in the treatment of Parkinson's disease. I focus on the electrode-tissue interface of deep brain stimulation electrodes, closed-loop deep brain stimulation in rats to test new closed-loop stimulation algorithms and directional deep brain stimulation leads. Currently my work is centred around the development of a novel brain stimulation target in the symptomatic treatment of Parkinson’s disease. I am interested in novel closed-loop algorithms, novel stimulation targets and non-invasive neuromodulation.
