Professor Martin Rossor directs the Dementia Research Centre at the Institute of Neurology. He established a specialist cognitive disorders clinic which acts as a tertiary referral service for young onset and rare dementias. Clinical research interests are in neurodegenerative disease and particularly in familial disease. He is honorary consultant neurologist at St Mary’s Hospital and at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery where he is Chairman of the Division of Neurology. He is editor of the Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery and Psychiatry and was recently appointed Director of the Department of Health Clinical Research Network for Dementias and Neurodegenerative Diseases (DeNDRoN). He holds positions on a number of academic committees and editorial boards a well as memberships of various learned societies.

Nick Fox is currently Professor of Clinical Neurology at the Institute of Neurology, University College London and visiting Professor at the Vrije University Amsterdam. He is consultant neurologist to The National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery London. His research at the Dementia Research Centre has focussed on MRI in Alzheimer's disease and related disorders. He has developed techniques for registration-based atrophy measurements from serial MRI. Using these techniques he has shown that rates of cerebral atrophy predict conversion to AD from mild cognitive impairment and that rates of atrophy correlate with clinical decline. These techniques are now widely used in longitudinal studies and clinical trials in AD and in a number of other neurological conditions.

Jason Warren is a Wellcome Trust Intermediate Clinical Fellow and Honorary Consultant Neurologist. His research is directed toward the systems neuroscience of neurodegenerative disease, using complex sound (including environmental sounds, voices, speech and music) as a paradigm to understand the mechanisms and brain basis for impaired information processing in the dementias. This work employs a range of techniques including psychophysics, neuropsychology, structural and functional MRI. Dr Warren has broad clinical interests in the wider field of cognitive and behavioural neurology.

Cath Mummery is a consultant in general and cognitive neurology at NHNN and Northwick Park Hospital and Honorary Senior Lecturer at the Institute of Neurology. She studied medicine at UCLH then trained in neurology at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, Queen Square and Kings College Hospital, London. She did her Phd, as an MRC Clinical Training Fellow, studying the effects of focal neurodegenerative disease (FTD) on brain networks for semantic memory combining functional imaging and neuropsychology. Dr Mumery is currently the clinical lead for cognitive disorders at the Dementia Research Centre. She is also the neurology lead for the North Thames Dementia and Neurodegenerative Diseases Clinical Research Network, part of a national government funded initiative to facilitate clinical research into disorders such as Alzheimer's disease and other dementias, Parkinson's disease, motor neurone disease and Huntington's disease. She is also active in teaching, being firm lead for undergraduate teaching, educational supervisor to the firm junior doctors and is a tutor on the MSc in clinical neurology and board member for the MSc/diploma in Clinical Neurology Committee.

Dr Giovanna Mallucci is an honorary consultant neurologist at NHNN. She studied medicine at Oxford University then obtained her PhD at Imperial College London.

Katy Judd has worked at the Dementia Research Centre for ten years and is a Consultant Nurse. This is primarily a clinical role, supporting patients attending the NHS Specialist Cognitive Disorders clinic. She leads the CANDID service which sees people face to face in clinic, provides contact via a telephone helpline, and offers support groups for people affected by Primary Progressive Aphasia and Posterior Cortical Atrophy. Katy contributes to the Dementia Research Centre strategy and is currently working on a 'one-stop shop' service improvement. She is Chair of the NHNN/ION Joint Research Ethics Committee and an executive member of the North Thames Dementia and Neurodegeneration Research Network, with responsibility for user involvement.

There is a clinical nurse specialist at the Dementia Research Centre and a member of the CANDID service.
