Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Simon Lewis (Principal investigator)

Brief description This Fellowship will develop novel diagnostic techniques in those patients who are at risk of developing Dementia and Parkinson’s Disease. Participants will also be encouraged to enrol in a brain donation program allowing detailed information for future correlations between symptoms and brain changes. This work will lead to the creation of a diagnostic matrix (At Risk Index) that will provide clinicians and researchers with tools to inform better diagnosis, prognosis and therapy.
