I am excited to have been awarded a Wellcome Trust CDA fellowship to study whether menopause enhances AD risk by exacerbating vascular dysfunction. I will be starting my lab in Manchester in January 2026, and would love to connect with other researchers interested in sex differences and AD 🧠🩸 πŸ”¬.
