Biography

Dr Caroline Hoad is a senior research fellow at the University of Nottingham. She gained her PhD in MRI Physics at the University of Exeter. She has been based in the Sir Peter Mansfield Imaging Centre at the University of Nottingham for over 20 years and has close links with colleagues from both the Nottingham Digestive Diseases Centre in the school of Medicine and the NIHR Biomedical Research Centre. Her research areas include quantitative magnetic resonance imaging in the Gastro-Intestinal Tract and Liver, where she has published extensively. Her recent research interests include quantifying motility in the GI tract from cine-MRI data. She has developed much of the software along with imaging and analysis protocols that are used by colleagues across the GI MRI group at the University of Nottingham.
