Available for supervision in the 2026/27 Adelaide University Summer Research Scholarship. 

Contribute to research aimed at preventing dementia and promoting lifelong brain health through a systematic review of the relationships between dietary choline, choline metabolites, and neurological conditions using evidence from genetic studies. This desk-based project can begin immediately, requires no ethics approvals or data collection, and is expected to contribute to a journal publication. This project can incorporate two students and provides valuable experience in systematic reviews, critical appraisal, scientific writing, and evidence synthesis while working with researchers in the Australian Centre for Precision Health team. The project is ideal for students interested in disease prevention, nutrition, genetics, neuroscience, epidemiology, or related fields and who have strong communication skills and attention to detail.

Students participating in the Summer Research Program will have a unique opportunity to learn from an ongoing research program investigating the broader health impacts of choline and its metabolites. Through exposure to both traditional epidemiological and genetic research approaches, students will gain valuable insights into contemporary health research, research methodologies, and the process of generating evidence to address important public health questions.
