Recorded at the Dementia Research Charity #Chatathon 2022 - Adam Smith interviews Dr Lucy Chisman-Russell, Postdoctoral Research Fellow, and Tammaryn Lashley, Professor of Neuroscience both from University College London.
Dr Lucy Chisman-Russell - I am a postdoctoral researcher funded by the Bluefield Project. I am the co-ordinator of the FTD Prevention Initiative, helping to link together the genetic FTD cohort studies from around the world, and liaising with pharmaceutical companies as new drug trials start for people with FTD. My research interests initially focused on social cognitive assessments in FTD using instructionless eye tracking tasks but have expanded in my postdoc role to the development of digital and remote markers in FTD.
Professor Tammaryn Lashley - My research is based around various neurodegenerative disease, including Alzheimer's disease and Frontotemporal Dementia. We use post-mortem human brain tissue to investigate the underlying pathological mechanisms that cause or are involved in the disease pathogenesis.
