At the NZBRI I am the research coordinator of the The Dominantly Inherited Alzheimer Network (DIAN) study in New Zealand. This study is looking at  ways to diagnose, treat and prevent inherited and other forms of Alzheimer’s disease.

 

My research interests include Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, cognitive decline, and imaging. I'm particularly interested in the integrity of cholinergic brain pathways in Parkinson's disease and how they change with cognitive decline.
