Biography
I am an Alzheimer's Society Research Fellow at the department of Psychiatry (Old Age Psychiatry research group) leading the CHARISMA study and also working in the PREVENT-Dementia study. My research is focused on multi-modal MR brain imaging and utilisation of state-of-the-art image processing tools to investigate early changes occurring at the preclinical/presymptomatic stage of Alzheimer's disease with a focus on brain vascular and blood flow changes.
