Summary

 

Summary

I am currently leading the Multi-’omics Atlas Project (MAP) at the Dementia Research Institute based at Imperial  This is a project to establish a comprehensive multi-'omic atlas characterising the pathology of human Alzheimer's Disease.  Read more at map-ad.org

I am also the Athena Swan lead for the Department of Brain Sciences.  

My background is in synapse biology and in vivo two-photon imaging of synapse changes and other cellular processes.
