Medical graduate working in dementia research since 1988. Main area of work is familial dementia, including recruitment of pedigrees, clinical documentation, arranging DNA collection and autopsy consent, liaison with colleagues in genetics (Peter R. Schofield, John B.J. Kwok)and neuropathology (Sydney Brain Bank, Glenda Halliday, Jillian Kril) research labs. Since 2009 I have been working for the Sydney site of DIAN (Dominantly Inherited Alzheimer Network, CIs John C. Morris, Randall J. Bateman). |
