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.
Research summary
Stuart holds over £5M grant income as chief investigator and have published over 220 peer reviewed publications. His academic expertise aligns around gastrointestinal and oncological radiology. He has particular experience in CT colonography, colorectal cancer detection and staging and all aspects of small bowel imaging, particularly in the context of Crohn’s disease. He also has a strong interest in obesity imaging. 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 an disciplines such as academic clinicians and surgeons, medical physics, computationalists, academic statisticians and health economists. Stuart has successfully supervised a number of MD and PhD students.
