Summary

Research Summary

I am a translational researcher whose research focuses on neuropsychiatric symptoms in dementia and late-life onset neuropsychiatric symptoms as markers of neurodegenerative disease. My research employs a variety of approaches from psychology to genomics and epidemiology to investigate the disease mechanisms and clinical consequences of these symptoms.

My work draws on extensive experience with large longitudinal datasets, proxy-reported and self-reported outcomes, and complex statistical modelling.

I have published numerous research articles in peer-reviewed journals and presented research at national and international conferences. In addition to my research, I am actively involved in mentoring students and am committed to fostering the next generation of dementia researchers.

I received my PhD from King's College London and completed a postdoctoral research there and at University of Exeter.

Consultancy

I also provide research-led consultancy to MedTech and pharmaceutical organisations, delivered via the University https://www.brunel.ac.uk/business/Research-and-development/Consultancy).

My expertise lies in real-world evidence (RWE), behavioural and cognitive outcomes, and neuropsychiatric symptoms, with a particular focus on ageing, dementia, and mental health. I work with industry teams to generate and interpret evidence that supports product development and clinical strategy.

I support MedTech and Pharma partners with:

• Study design and evidence strategy for observational and longitudinal research
• Advanced analysis of real-world and patient-reported outcomes data
• Interpretation of behavioural, neuropsychiatric, and cognitive endpoints
• Evidence to support value propositions, payer conversations, and regulatory engagemeny

All consultancy is undertaken via Brunel University London.
