Professor Nick Fox's first degree was in Physics and Physiology from Cambridge. He subsequently graduated with honours in medicine from the University of London and then specialised in cognitive neurology. He held research fellowships from the Alzheimer's Society and the Medical Research Council (MRC).
He is currently professor of neurology and director of the Dementia Research Centre at the UCL Insitute of Neurology, Queen Square, London, and a consultant neurologist in the Cognitive Disorders Clinic.
