Research interests
I am a Senior Research Associate in TeamTimpson and the Immunopsychiatry Research Group, working on the LIfespaN multimorbidity research Collaborative (LINC).
My research involves modelling cardiometabolic and mental health trajectories, and examining their associations with genetic, sociodemographic and environmental predictors as well as health outcomes. My other research interests include ageing, neurocognitive/neurodegenerative disorders, dementia knowledge translation, and long COVID.
I hold a PhD in Psychiatry from UNSW Sydney, Australia. My doctoral research investigated the biological and environmental factors contributing to late-life depression. Prior to joining the IEU, I worked as a Researcher at the Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences, University of Oxford, analysing English primary care data on influenza and COVID-19 vaccine adverse events and uptake; and as a Postdoctoral Research Assistant at the Department of Psychiatry, University of Oxford, looking at longitudinal patterns of depression and cognitive change using data from ageing cohorts in different countries.
