My group’s primary research goal is to use computational models to understand the molecular mechanisms that underlie Alzheimer’s disease and to enhance prediction of the disease. We have a passion for research into ageing and, in particular, examining the genetic and environmental contributions to health, cognitive ageing, and dementia. Our work is at the intersection of the biomedical and social sciences.
We work with data from large, population-based cohorts including Generation Scotland, UK Biobank, and the Lothian Birth Cohorts of 1921 and 1936.
2005 - 2006 MSc with distinction in Operational Research
The University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, UK.

Thesis: `A model describing the value of a gain in productivity among persons with rheumatoid arthritis.'
2001 - 2005 BSc (Hons) in Mathematics and Statistics (First Class)
The University of Aberdeen, Aberdeen, UK.
I am a Senior Research Fellow and Group Leader based in the Centre for Genomic and Experimental Medicine.
I previously held a Chancellor's Felloswhip (2013 - 2018) that was part-funded by the University of Queensland where I was an Adjunct Research Fellow between 2013-2016.
My postdoctoral research included a year at the Department of Public Health and Primary Care at the University of Cambridge (2009-2010). Whilst there, I was awarded an Alzheimer's Research UK fellowship (2010-2013) in conjunction with the Medical Research Council Biostatistics Unit, Cambridge, the Department of Biostatistics, INSERM U897, Bordeaux and the University of Edinburgh Department of Psychology, to develop and apply longitudinal statistical methods for cognitive ageing.
I completed my PhD (2006-2009) in Genetic and Cognitive Epidemiology at the University of Edinburgh. My thesis title was "Inflammation and cognition: The association between biomarker levels, their genetic determinants, and age-related cognitive decline".
