Current research
The UK Dementia Research Institute (UK DRI) is a national institute that brings together nearly 1,000 world-leading researchers characterising multiple disciplines hosted in nine centres across six prestigious universities in the UK. The purpose of the UK DRI is through research, to transform the outlook for people living with or at risk of the diverse neurodegenerative diseases that underpin the spectrum of dementia-related conditions.
My role at UCL is to act as a Consultant to the Director Professor Siddarthan Chandran having been involved in the establishment of UK DRI in 2017 under the leadership of Professor Bart De Strooper.
My particular research interest is in understanding the contribution of microglia, and other immune cells and pathways, to dementia.
