Overview
I am an Alzheimer's Research UK (ARUK) PhD Scholar exploring the impact of systemic vascular health on the brain in individuals at an increased genetic risk for dementia. This research is undertaken as part of the "Prospective Investigation of Mechanical Markers for Alzheimer's Disease Risk (PRIMAL)" study led by Dr Lucy Hiscox (Wellcome Trust Early Career Award).
