Clinical Research & Professional Memberships 

Dr. Hayat’s doctoral research was funded by the Medical Research Council (UK) and explored novel MRI techniques to study early brain development. This was followed by an NIHR Academic Clinical Fellowship which combined his run through clinical training in neurology with research into neuroinflammatory and pain signalling pathways. His most recent research was conducted at the Sir Peter Mansfield Imaging Centre in Nottingham, UK; this involved patient recruitment and clinical assessments for a longitudinal study of brain changes in the initial stages of Parkinson’s Disease.
