Dr. Tomoki Arichi

Biography

Tomoki Arichi is a Professor and Head of the Department of Early Life Imaging at King's College London. He received his PhD from Imperial College London in 2012 and was awarded the Chain-Florey Fellowship from the MRC Clinical Sciences Centre. His doctoral research focused on optimizing functional MRI techniques to study newborn brain activity, leading him to an appointment as an MRC Clinician Scientist in March 2017. Alongside his academic role, he holds an honorary consultant position in Paediatric Neurodisability at Evelina London Children's Hospital, where he is dedicated to the early identification and management of disabilities associated with perinatal brain injury. Professor Arichi's research interests predominantly lie in non-invasive imaging techniques, including EEG and functional MRI, particularly in understanding early brain development and the impacts of brain injury. He is actively involved in developing novel MRI tools and rehabilitative strategies for infants who have suffered brain injuries. His work, which includes a strong collaboration with the Human Robotics group at Imperial College, aims to advance the field of pediatric neuroimaging and improve outcomes for newborns. He regularly publishes research findings in reputable journals, contributing significantly to the understanding of neonatal brain structure and functional connectivity.
