Professor Duff is the Centre Director of the UK Dementia Research Institute at University College London and Professor Emerita at the Department of Pathology at Columbia University Medical Center, New York.
Professor Duff explores disease mechanisms and therapeutic approaches to treat or prevent Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Frontotemporal Lobe Dementia (FTD) and other dementias. Her current interests are exploring the mechanisms involved in the initatiion and progression of tau pathology, the spread of pathogenic tau proteins within the brain, understanding the basis of selective cellular vulnerability and resilience to tauopathy and developing new mouse and cell models to understand the earliest stages in tau pathogenesis and the interaction of tau and amyloid in AD.
