He was previously professor of anatomy at the University of Cambridge. He was also a professor at the University of Washington, The Medical University of South Carolina, and the University of Pittsburgh.
He has studied the fine detail of sensory pathways in the brains of mammals, and was the first person to demonstrate that transplants of neural cells can rewire into the recipient's brain, meaning that stem cell implants have the potential to treat some forms of blindness, such as age-related macular degeneration and retinitis pigmentosa.
