Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJames Cole is a Professor of Neuroimage Analysis at UCL with nine years of focused experience translating structural and functional MRI into clinically useful biomarkers for ageing, neurodegeneration and dementia. He leads research combining machine learning and multimodal imaging to predict brain age and quantify how conditions such as TBI, epilepsy, MS and psychiatric disorders accelerate neuroanatomical decline. With a PhD in Psychiatric Imaging Genetics and appointments at the Centre for Medical Image Computing and the Dementia Research Centre, he bridges imaging, genetics and environmental factors to probe disease mechanisms and treatment response. He also advises Brain Key, reflecting a commitment to applying research insights beyond academia. Less obvious: his work spans diverse clinical populations—from Huntington’s and HIV to pre-term birth and obesity—giving him a rare comparative perspective on brain ageing across disorders.
