Dr Martin Turner has been a clinical researcher in MND for eight years. His interest is in the varied ways that MND presents and progresses - the clinical phenotypes.
He is in the process of applying to set up a large study of patients over time at Oxford University, that will use the very latest MRI scan techniques in combination with analysis of cerebrospinal fluid to develop a ‘biomarker’ for MND.
