Dr Lloyd Gregory 

Translational Imaging Unit Research Manager 

Translational Imaging Unit, 3T MRI Facility, Hope Hospital, Stott Lane, Salford, M6 8WH

Lloyd's research interests focus on understanding the complex interactions of sensory, affective and cognitive components of the visceral pain neuromatrix and how they can be modulated by psychological and pharmacological means.  This is of particular clinical relevance to understanding the pathophysiological mechanisms that underpin functional gastrointestinal disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and non-cardiac chest pain.  Much of Lloyd's research involves the use of functional magnetic resonance imaging techniques.  However, his current role now enables him to forge new research collaborations that utilise magnetic resonance imaging in order to translate clinical questions into imaging science.

Lloyd maintains research collaborations with Professor Simon Baron-Cohen (Cambridge University), Professor Steve Williams (Insitute of Psychiatry, London), Professor David Thompson (University of Manchester) and Professor Jan Tack at the University of Leuven, Belgium.
