Biography
Completed a PhD in neuroscience at UWA before moving to Okinawa, Japan as a post-doctoral research scholar with Asst.Prof Marylka Uusisaari (Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology). I returned to UWA on a combined lecturing and research position at the end of 2018. In 2023 I received the inaugural Sarich Family Fellowship and founded the Healthy Brain Ageing and Repair Lab at UWA and the Perron Institute. My lab aims to understand the changes to neural plasticity with age and the cellular mechanisms underlying neurological disorders at different ages. Using this knowledge, the lab hopes to develop novel interventions that can promote healthy brain ageing or treat age-related neurological disorders to ensure a high quality of life throughout life.
