Bio

My research focuses on the molecular characterisation of the causes, characteristics and consequences of variable disposition and response to B-vitamins and 1-Carbon Metabolism with the over-arching goal of improving primary and secondary prevention and risk-management strategies for common ageing diseases, most notably age-associated cognitive decline and dementia.
