I completed my BSc in Pharmacology at the University of Southampton prior to moving to Imperial for MRes studies in Neuroscience. I stayed at Imperial College to complete my PhD under the supervision of Prof David Dexter, looking at the neuroprotective potential of histone deacetylase inhibitors in Parkinson's disease, using imaging to quantify disease progression in the rodent brain. I then moved to UCL's Centre for Advanced Biomedical Imaging to lead a collaborative project with Eli Lilly looking to develop imaging strategies to assess pathology in mouse models of Alzheimer's disease. I am currently the recipient of Alzheimer's Research UK and Parkinson's UK reserarch fellowships aiming to understand the involvement of the glymphatic system in neurodegenerative disease.
