Project title: Multi-omic Characterisation of the Molecular Neuropathology of ABCA7 Variants in Alzheimer’s Disease 
Supervisor: Professor Paul Matthews, Dr Johanna Jackson, Dr David Owen 
Location: Level 7, Sir Michael Uren Hub, White City Campus, 86 Wood Lane, W12 0BZ

About Me

I joined the Matthews Lab as a Research Assistant after completing my MSc in Translational Neuroscience at Imperial College London. With a background in Biomedical Science from King’s College London, my research journey has primarily focused on transcriptomics and genomics as part of the Multiomics Atlas Project. Following two years of enriching research experience, I commenced my PhD to explore how ABCA7 genetic variants contribute to the risk of Late-Onset Alzheimer’s disease, delving into the molecular and neuropathological pathways underlying this susceptibility. I am thrilled to continue working alongside a dynamic team in the Matthews Lab and the UKDRI at Imperial, contributing to research that targets dementia, a condition with far-reaching impacts on society.
