Summary
I am a translational neuroscience researcher whose research focuses on neuropsychiatric symptoms in dementia and late-life onset neuropsychiatric symptoms as markers of neurodegenerative disease. My research employs a variety of approaches from psychology to genomics and epidemiology to investigate the disease mechanisms and clinical consequences of these symptoms.
One of my main areas of interest is chracterising psychosis in dementia and as an early clinical marker of neurodegenerative disease. To achieve this, I study human tissue and population-based samples to examine the underlying mechanisms of these symptoms.
I have published numerous research articles in peer-reviewed journals and presented research at national and international conferences. In addition to my research, I am actively involved in mentoring students and am committed to fostering the next generation of dementia researchers.
I received my PhD from King's College London and completed a postdoctoral research there and at University of Exeter.
