Du Boulay Professors

Dr Kshitij (Kish) Mankad is a Consultant in Paediatric Neuroradiology, serving Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children (GOSH) and University College London Hospital (UCLH). He is also the Clinical Lead of the Paediatric Neuroradiology Unit at GOSH and an Associate Professor at the GOS UCL Institute of Child.

He underwent his Neuroradiology Fellowship training in London, and General Radiology training at Leeds and West Yorkshire. Prior to Radiology, he secured the MRCP having completed training in Internal Medicine training in Sheffield.

Kish loves teaching using innovative styles, and has built a reputable international education and training portfolio, collaborating with all major Societies of the world. Also, as Chair of the British Paediatric Neuroimaging Group he hopes to add tremendous value to the outlook of the specialty in the UK by setting up small group training sessions for post CCT fellows who would be reading children’s brain and spine scans either as future Paediatric Radiologists, General Radiologists or Neuroradiologists.

His academic interests are diverse, including neuro-oncology, neuroinflammation, malformations, epilepsy and abusive trauma. He is keen to inspire more trainees to participate in translatory research in an effort to make the science and art of Paediatric Neuroimaging more hygienic going into the future, and its practitioners more discerning.

Outside of Medicine, Kish has an interest in Economics and Leadership. He hopes to also impart these skills to the next generation, particularly using his training in Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt and MBA Essentials with the London School of Economics.

Dr Andrew MacKinnon is a full-time Consultant Adult and Paediatric Neuroradiologist and Honorary Senior Lecturer in Atkinson Morley Regional Neuroscience Centre, St George’s Hospital University Hospitals and the Royal Marsden Hospital NHS Foundation Trusts. He is Clinical Lead and Research Lead at St George's.

As an enthusiastic teacher he has designed a database of over 3500 teaching cases, utilising this locally for teaching sessions for trainees on the SW London radiology training scheme, regionally for radiologists at DGHs and nationally for invited BSNR teaching sessions. He has also used this resource to train visiting international radiologists and neurologists during their research.

Andy has an MD in stroke neuroimaging and has maintained a strong academic interest. He is actively involved in a number of neurovascular and neuro-oncology research studies including multicentre collaborative research in advanced neuroimaging of cerebral small vessel disease. He has recently co-supervised successful PhD/MD Res students and led on the creation of a new Consultant Academic Neuroradiologist post at St George’s/Royal Marsden. He is keen to highlight the rewards of a career in neuroradiology, especially academic neuroradiology careers.
