My current role
I am proud to be part of the excellent multidisciplinary team at the Addenbrooke's memory clinic, which has supported people with dementia for over 30 years. I believe that excellence in clinical care is can best be achieved in partnership with research and innovation. I aim to provide everyone with or at-risk of dementia the opportunity to take part in research; and spend much of my working week leading research into the causes and treatment of dementias.
In addition to research and teaching, I lead the neurodegeneration and dementia theme of the Biomedical Research Centre; am director of the Cambridge Centre for Frontotemporal Dementia; associate director of Dementias Platform UK; and chief scientific adviser to Alzheimers Research UK.
