WMG is pleased to welcome Professor Theo Arvanitis today (1st November). He joins the Institute of Digital Healthcare team as Professor of e-Health Innovation.

Professor Arvanitis is a specialist in biomedical engineering, neuroimaging and health informatics. In the area of health informatics and e-health, Professor Arvanitis brings expertise in the development of clinical information systems for decision support, semantic interoperability for health data connectivity and clinical trials through innovative e-trials applications. His neuroimaging work includes magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy for childhood brain tumour characterisation, where he has developed novel pattern recognition, computational models and quantification of in vivo and in vitro magnetic resonance spectroscopy and spectroscopic imaging. This research has been done in collaboration with the Institute of Child Health, Birmingham Children’s Hospital, where he also holds an honorary post. Recently he has been awarded a large EPSRC programme for investigating the relationship between structural and functional networks in the human thalamocortical system.

Professor Theo Arvanitis has a substantial academic publication record with over 300 publications, while he has received research funding from national (UK), European and international governmental funding agencies, charities and industry.

Professor Arvanitis has previously said:

I am looking forward to joining WMG and IDH, a vibrant environment to conduct interdisciplinary research in the area of e-health, while experiencing WMG’s successful cross-fertilisation between academia and industry.”
