Overview

My current role at the University of Manchester is a European wide FP7 funded project (EMIF-AD) that will investigate cognitively normal old-aged individuals. The project will use multiple methodologies (neuropsychology, PET, MRI and genotyping) to understand the endophenotype of healthy brain ageing in spetua-, octo- and nonagenarians.

Biography

After completing my undergraduate (BSc) and postgraduate (MSc) education in Liverpool, I arrived at the University of Manchester in 2005 to study for a PhD funded by the Medical Research Council (supervised by Professors Karl Herholz, Matthew Lambon Ralph and Alistair Burns).

After successfully defending my PhD thesis in 2009 I moved to Karolinska Institutet (Stockholm, Sweden) in 2010 where I completed a 3 year postdoc within the Division of Translational Alzheimer Neurobiology (under the supervision of Professor Agneta Nordberg).

In 2013 I returned to the University of Manchester for a 3 year EU FP7 EMIF-AD funded Research Fellowship.
