Current engagements and future projects

I detailed on my Youtube channel what engagements I have been involved with recently and what direction my research will be heading to.

In the video I mention training I am undertaking to learn more about specific laboratory equipment I will be using for some ketogenic focused research related to brain cancer. I also give a brief overview on a few speaking engagements I have been involved in recently, including a visit to parliament with Brain Tumour Research to discuss my personal experiences with ketogenic therapies.


Additionally, there was a press release about the APPG in parliament by Bracknell News, my local newspaper. The link can be found here:

It is always a pleasure to share awareness of the potential of these metabolic therapies, particularly as we continue to learn more about their applications and effects. I am excited about furthering my own research in this area to expand on previous research involving high grade gliomas. It is encouraging to see that there will be a clinical trial for both high and low grade gliomas beginning in January 2020 to investigate the therapeutic efficacy of a calorie restricted ketogenic diet on brain tumour patients. I hope to be involved in some way as I have been in contact with the investigators of this trial for a number of years now.
