Who We Are

John Baker

Clinical Research Fellow

Following an English Literature degree at Oxford University I studied medicine in Cardiff. Subsequently my medical training has taken me around the UK, having worked in Scotland, Wales, and more recently the South-West of England. During that time I have started my specialty training in Neurology and developed an interest in disorders of memory, which has brought me to Exeter, and the TIME project. Thanks to the establishment of the Alzheimers Society doctoral training centre based in the University of Exeter I have been able to work as a clinical research fellow, under the supervision of Adam Zeman. During this time I will be working towards a PhD looking at epileptic seizures occurring in patients who are suffering from dementia and mild cognitive impairment.

Within the TIME project I will be assisting the current team in reviewing the 10 year follow-up data of the TEA cohort. In addition I will also be looking at a new group of TEA patients, established in the 10 years following the original study, to learn how these two groups compare, and what we can add to our understanding of TEA by combining these two groups together.
