Profile

PhD title: Individualised risk prediction for dementia: deriving actionable information from multimodal health data

I am a Wellcome Trust PhD student at the Centre for Preventive Neurology, specialising in applying machine learning and advanced statistical modelling to predict individual dementia risk. My research focuses on identifying preclinical risk factors—before symptoms emerge—by analysing diverse health data, including proteomics, metabolomics, genetics, brain imaging, and electronic health records.

This life course approach aims to support future preventative measures and tailored interventions that could significantly alter the disease’s course.
