Biography
Pierrick leads the brain tumour project, which focuses on delivering tools to the clinician to improve tumour detection, grading and assess the tumour response to therapy. Pierrick is also involved in other projects including Alzheimer's disease and stroke using his expertise in software engineering and brain imaging using both PET and MRI.
Pierrick's research is aiming to improve our understanding of neurodegenerative diseases, and to deliver software tools that can be routinely used to improve patient diagnosis and treatment outcomes.
