Current PhD Candidate and member of the Translational Neuropathology Laboratory within the Adelaide Medical School at the University of Adelaide, South Australia. My current research focuses on a post-stroke phenomenon termed secondary neurodegeneration, which is thought to be a prerequisite for the onset of dementia.
