Professor Jenkinson undertook neurosurgical training at The Walton Centre, Liverpool between 2001 and 2010, which included three years as a clinical research fellow culminating in a PhD in Neuroscience.
He learnt awake craniotomy and brain mapping techniques in Liverpool, San Francisco and Montpellier. He was appointed Professor of Neurosurgery at The University of Liverpool in 2019. In his current role as Chair of Surgical Trials he has a remit to expand the surgical trials research portfolio across all surgical discipline and to develop the next generation of surgical clinical trialists.
His research interests include meningioma management (incidental tumours, seizures and quality of life), imaging and biology of brain metastases and interventional clinical trials in neurosurgery and neuro-oncology.

He is the chief investigator on several NIHR-funded trials, including the multi-centre ROAM trial. He is a co-investigator on the NIHR funded SPRING, FUTURE GB and PROSSPER trials. He led a pilot study to investigate the use of Ketogenic diet for patients with glioblastoma (KEATING).
He was the co-chief investigator on the NIHR funded BASICS trial (The British Antibiotic and Silver Impregnated Catheters for ventriculoperitoneal Shunts randomized controlled trial) that showed that antibiotic catheters reduced the infection rate from 6% to 2%.
