Associate Professor, Turner Institute for Brain and Mental Health, Monash University

I am an Associate Professor at the Turner Institute for Brain and Mental Health (Monash University), Primary Investigator of the Healthy Brain Project (healthybrainproject.org.au) and the BetterBrains Trial (betterbrains.org.au), and Director of the ARC Centre for Optimal Ageing. I am primarily interested in understanding how genetic and lifestyle factors, independently or interactively, accelerate or protect against brain diseases, particularly dementia. My work is supported by the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC), Australian Research Council (ARC), Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF), Dementia Australia, and the Alzheimer's Association (USA).
