Novel techniques/technology: recent_highlight

There has been further development of MR real-time techniques and 3D image navigation with a patented controller device. This is now a 3rd generation design being commercialised with Cambridge Enterprise.

We are developing techniques to overcome problems related to DCE-MRI measurements at 3T that will help facilitate future oncology and other trials. This includes a novel dual echo single heart beat saturation preparation perfusion sequence and strategies for T1 mapping and managing B1 inhomogeneity problems.

X linked intellectual disability (L Raymond)

The NIHR funding was initially used to support the completion of high throughput Sanger sequencing on a cohort of families with X linked intellectual disability. We have screened >700 genes from the X chromosome in the research project and have identified 12 novel genes that cause disease. The NIHR BRC funding has also directly contributed to the translation of this research to providing a diagnostic service to the individuals who have a pathogenic mutation and the provision of testing for the extended family.
