My research has focused on biomarkers of frontotemporal dementia (FTD), particularly in relation to their underlying genetic causes. Research in the field of FTD has led to the publication of over 200 Pubmed-referenced papers and I speak regularly at national and international conferences about the work. Since 2011 I have co-ordinated the Genetic FTD Initiative, GENFI, a multicentre cohort study of presymptomatic genetic FTD (www.genfi.org). Since 2018 I have been co-lead for the worldwide FTD Prevention Initiative (www.thefpi.org). I have also set up FTD UK (www.ftduk.org), an annual scientific meeting of UK researchers who work in the FTD field (running since 2011), and run a website dedicated to providing research updates to the general public about FTD: FTD talk (www.ftdtalk.org).
Teaching Summary
I currently supervise 6 PhD students (5 primary, 1 secondary) and 1 Clinical Neuroscience MSc student. I am a module lead and sit on the course committee for the UCL Dementia MSc (Neuroscience).
