Stuart Taylor is an academic clinical radiologist specialising in gastrointestinal and oncological Imaging. His medical training was at St Bartholomew’s hospital, London and radiological training at University College Hospital, London. He also underwent specialised training in gastrointestinal imaging at St Marks Hospital, Harrow, where he undertook an MD in CT colonography. After a short time as a consultant at St Marks hospital in 2005 Stuart moved to University College Hospital as a clinical academic and was appointed Professor of Medical Imaging in 2011. Stuart is currently a NIHR senior investigator, chair of the NIHR National Imaging group and current president of the British Society of Gastrointestinal and Abdominal Radiology (BSGAR). He also sits on the executive committee of the European Society of Gastrointestinal and Abdominal Radiology (ESGAR), NIHR EME funding committee, and is a mentor for the Academy of Medical Sciences.
Research summary
Stuart holds over £6M grant income as chief investigator and has published over 280 peer reviewed publications. His work has been cited over 12500 times and he has 30 publications with over 100 citations. His academic expertise aligns around gastrointestinal and oncological radiology. He has particular experience in all aspects of small bowel imaging, particularly in the context of Crohn’s disease, whole body MRI imaging, CT colonography, colorectal cancer detection and staging. Stuart's research program encompasses the translation research pipeline from first in man studies through the large scale prospective multicentre trials of imaging technology, where he has particularly expertise. He collaborates widely across institutions and disciplines such as academic clinicians and surgeons, medical physics, computationalists, academic statisticians and health economists. Stuart has successfully supervised a large number of MD and PhD students.
