Bio
The overall aim of my research is to increase the understanding of factors and conditions that influence brain and cognitive health across the lifespan. During my PhD, I studied the human potential for brain plasticity using longitudinal neuroimaging data, as part of a cognitive intervention study. After my PhD, I extended my research to brain ageing in large-scale population cohorts, with a particular interest in women's brain health.
I was recently awarded an Ambizione grant from the Swiss National Science Foundation to utilise population-based datasets (e.g. UK Biobank) to study the female brain, and how factors such as pregnancy, hormone exposure, and genetics influence women’s brain health across the lifespan. This ongoing work is a collaborative effort between researchers at several institutions including LREN, NORMENT, and the University of Oxford. Students interested in pursuing a MA or PhD within women's brain health are encouraged to contact me.
