| Research Interests | |
| My main research interests include cognitive functioning in depression and ageing, particularly to find predictors of the course of depression and age-related cognitive decline. I am study coordinator of the Memory and Ageing Study (MAS), a multifaceted population-based study bringing together neuropsychological, medical, brain imaging, genetic and proteomic components to identify risk factors, or even protective factors against developing dementia.
