My research is focused on investigating the cellular mechanisms of brain ageing in the context of neurodegenerative diseases. I am primarily interested in investigating the biological basis of brain ageing, with a particular focus on the role that inflammatory mechanisms play in this process and hope to gain an understanding of how the brain’s immune system can be targeted to promote healthy ageing and improve outcomes for neurodegenerative conditions.
