Career Trajectory
Bio
I am a Translational Neuroscientist with expertise in dementia epidemiology, based across Imperial College London and Aga Khan University Kenya; and affiliated as a Senior Scientist with Karolinska Institutet. My primary role is Programme and Biomarker Lead for one of the world’s largest and deeply-phenotyped, longitudinal dementia-prevention programme (The CHARIOT:PRO studies) co-funded by Janssen R&D, Merck, Takeda and Gates Foundation; with > 2000 cognitively healthy older adults screened, and data on imaging and fluid biomarkers as well as neurocognitive and lifestyle factors collected at high throughput. At the Brain and Mind Institute Kenya, I am developing capacity for dementia and healthy brain aging research, education, and care while collaborating with Mental Health and Neuroscience subject experts, clinicians, and educators across the Aga Khan University, to ultimately build the neuroscience capacity and strength at the University. I am also an Atlantic Fellow for Equity in Brain Health at the Global Brain Health Institute, University of San Francisco, California, USA.
In 2018, I initiated the AFRICA-FINGERS project (as Principal Investigator) that aims to promote healthy ageing and mitigate brain health and biomarker-access inequalities through culturally appropriate, sustainable multimodal intervention strategies in Sub-Saharan African populations. I am co-Lead of the World-Wide FINGERS Biomarker Consortium, Global CEOi/Davos Alzheimer’s Collaborative workstream on Implementation of Blood-based-biomarkers in Clinical Practice and on the Executive committee for the Biofluids-biomarker-based PIA of the Alzheimer’s Association ISTAART (2018 - present). I am also co-founder of the Female Brain and Endocrine Research (FEMBER) consortium.
Having completed a competitive CASE PhD studentship in Neuroscience and Neuroendocrinology at the MRC Centre for Synaptic Plasticity at the University of Bristol (2010-2014), my current research focuses on elucidating dementia prevention bio-mechanistic pathways and strategies across diverse populations, adopting a translational approach integrating human clinical studies with experimental animal models; with multiple grants and awards to execute this work. In addition, I lead multinational initiatives to address gender and racial disparities in medical research and academia as part of the Opportunity Committee at Imperial College and further sit on the Board of Trustees of the British Society for Neuroendocrinology as the Equality and Diversity Inclusion Lead.
Overall, my work is at the forefront of translational neuroscience, bringing together fundamental discoveries in neuroscience with the goal of improving human health and wellbeing.
