As a medical doctor in neurology and researcher in neuroscience I am particularly interested in neurodegenerative disorders. In my work I focus on biomarkers that can detect diseases that cause dementia. I am Associate Professor of Dementia Research and concurrently enrolled in the neurology specialization program. Previously I worked in clinical psychiatry and psychiatric epidemiology.
I study neurodegenerative disease with a focus on biomarkers in Lewy body and Alzheimer's disease. Using biomarkers I aim to understand the impact of Alzheimer co-pathology in persons with Lewy body disease and the early detection of these disorders using blood-based biomakers. My research contributes to more timely and accurate detection of disease that cause dementia.
I have taught about dementia disorders in the psychiatry specialization program and contributed to books and book chapters on dementia disorders.
I collaborate with national and international researchers in biochemistry and neuroimaging on projects in dementia. The purpose is to gain a better understanding of biomarkers.
My primary work focus is neurology and neurodegenerative dementia.
