I joined the CIDDRG in July 2023 as a research assistant after graduating with an MSc in Psychiatric Research from King’s College London and a BSc in Psychology from Queen Mary, University of London.

My current research is focused on enrolling non-demented adults with Down’s syndrome into a trial ready cohort, known as the Trial-Ready Cohort – Down Syndrome (TRC-DS) study. The TRC-DS is a collaborating project with the Alzheimer’s Disease Biomarker Consortium-Down Syndrome (ABC-DS), an international longitudinal study funded by the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) aimed to identify early biomarkers that indicate the onset of Alzheimer’s disease among individuals with Down’s syndrome.
