Profile
Liaising with researchers from the College of Human Sciences on study design, data acquisition and processing and resources available to help with their research questions, Professor Paul Mullin’s aim is to keep the Bangor Imaging Unit a world-class centre for neuroimaging research in North Wales. Paul’s personal research falls into three broad areas: development and validation of MRS techniques for the detection of neurotransmitters; the use of these techniques to measure changes associated with neurotransmission and neural activity in health and disease; and the use of magnetic resonance imaging to investigate basic neurologic and physiologic processes in health and disease. Paul’s current ongoing research however is focused on two of these areas: the study of functional neurochemical changes through the use of functional magnetic resonance spectroscopy (fMRS); and measurement of changes in cerebral physiology and blood flow.
Professor Paul Mullins, Bangor UniversityHaving hosted the first international symposium on functional Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy at Bangor University in 2023, we are already planning for the follow up for 2025. North Wales has such a lot offer as destination for scientific conferences: World class facilities and research at our Universities; Amazing local sights and activities in and around Eryri and Ynys Môn; and excellent locations for social events and formal dinners where attendees can sample local produce and culinary talent. I am looking forward to hosting more events, and welcoming even more people to this very special part of the world."
