Areas of Research

The Onset and Persistence of Apathy in Late Adulthood

My research aims to bridge the gap between early behavioural symptoms, like apathy, and the biological markers of Alzheimer's Disease, with the ultimate goal of identifying at-risk individuals earlier, improving intervention strategies, and alleviating the burden of symptoms for both patients and caregivers.
