Martin Rossor
Martin Neil Rossor, MA MB B.Chir, MD FRCP FMedSci, is a clinical neurologist with a specialty interest in degenerative dementias and familial disease. He is Professor Emeritus and Principal Research Associate at the UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology.[1], Honorary Consultant Neurologist at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery[2], and is the inaugural National Director for Dementia Research[3] for the National Institute of Health Research[4] (NIHR) since the role was created in 2014 in response to the research commitments within the Prime Minister’s Dementia Challenge[5] and the G8 Dementia Summit[6]Honors
Professional career[edit]
Following his training in clinical neurology at the National Hospital, Queen Square, Rossor undertook primary research on the neurochemistry of degenerative dementia at the MRC Neurochemical Pharmacology Unit, Cambridge, before being appointed as Consultant Neurologist at St. Mary’s Hospital London and the National Hospital in 1986. He was appointed Chairman of the Division of Neurology in 2002, after becoming Professor of Clinical Neurology. He launched a specialist cognitive disorders clinic, which acts as a tertiary referral service for young onset and rare dementias, and then later at UCL, he established the Queen Square Dementia Research Centre[7].
Rossor’s clinical research interests are in the degenerative dementias, particularly familial disease. His collaborative work in identifying and characterising a large collection of familial cases of Alzheimer’s disease was central to the discovery of mutations in the amyloid precursor protein gene[8][9]. More recently, his work focuses on general cognitive impairment in systemic disease and multimorbidity including development of the Cognitive Footprint[10] concept, which was co-authored in 2015
He was the editor of the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry[11], President of the Association of British Neurologists[12], Director of the NIHR Clinical Research Network for Dementia and Neurodegenerative diseases (DeNDRoN), and Director of the NIHR Queen Square Dementia Biomedical Research Unit[13]. As part of the activities of DeNDRoN he established Join Dementia Research] (JDR)[14], a registry that provides real time matching of participants to studies based on exclusion and inclusion criteria. This is the first of its kind to allow patients and public to be aware of all studies for which they might be eligible and to choose those that they may wish to contribute to. It also allows certified researchers to access a wide range of potential participants. Importantly, this reduces the post-code lottery of research engagement.
He has is an associate member of the World Dementia Council[15], member of the 2020 Dementia Programme Board, and Chairman of the Senate for the German Centre for Neurodegenerative Diseases[16] (DZNE).
Honors[edit]
Awards and recognitions include the Alzheimer’s Disease Society Award (1981), Cambridge University MD Prize (Ralph Horton-Smith Prize) (1986), American Neurological Association[17] - corresponding member (1995), Member of Association of Physicians[18] (1996), BUPA/Patient Association Award for CANDID (2000), Honorary Member of Australian Association of Neurologists (2000), Fellow of Academy of Medical Sciences[19], UK (2002), RCP Croonian Lecturer (2008), Bengt Winblad Lifetime Achievement Award in Alzheimer’s disease Research of the Alzheimer Association[20] (2009), NIHR Senior Investigator/Clinical Excellence Award[21] (2014), British Neuropsychiatry Association[22] Medallist (2017), Association of British Neurology Medallist[23] (2017). He was also Master of the Worshipful Society of Apothecaries of London[24] in 2018-2019.
Rossor has authored nearly 900 publications[25]. He has been on the Highly Cited Researcher list from Clarivate since 2018.[citation needed]
