Brief Biosketch

Roger Gunn is Director of PET Modelling at GSK where he is leading the application of PET imaging to drug development. He did his undergraduate degree in applied mathematics at the University of Warwick before completing a PhD in the bio-mathematical modelling of PET data at the MRC Cyclotron Unit. He left the MRC to take up a faculty position at McGill University where he worked at the Montreal Neurological Institute before joining GSK in 2003. He holds Visiting Professorships at Oxford University (Dept Engineering Science) and Imperial College (Division of Neuroscience and Mental Health) and has published over 70 peer reviewed journal articles in the field of imaging.
