I’m interested in understanding the onset and progression of cognitive and behavioural dysfunction in neurodegenerative diseases, particularly motor neuron disease and frontotemporal dementia. I'm also interested in how other factors such as genetic status and psychiatric symptoms contribute to the presence neuropsychological impairment in neurodegenerative diseases.
