In this podcast the panel discusses how we as early stage researchers are not always fully prepared for qualitative research and the ethical procedure. There are many challenges surrounding ethical qualitative work; yet, insights from such research are extremely valuable. What did they learn? Dr Lakshini Mendis talks with first time panellist Sarah Wallcook a Doctoral Student from the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden, and regular contributor Yvette Vermeer a PhD student and sociologist based at University College London both are part of the Interdisciplinary Network for Dementia Using Current Technology (INDUCT) Programme (something we also discuss).

Megan O’Hare talks with Dr Raffaele Ferrari a Junior Research Fellow from UCL and Dr Claudia Manzoni, Associate Research Fellow at the University of Reading. The panel are discussing their research and the work of the International Frontotemporal Dementia Genomics Consortium (IFGC). This exciting work is making great progress in understanding FTD, and for those listeners who don’t know, genomics is the branch of molecular biology concerned with the structure, function, evolution, and mapping of genomes – an important focus for dementia research, and particularly in FTD.

In this podcast, Dr Lakshini Mendis speaks with Dr Marina Papoutsi (Research Associate), Dr Akshay Nair (Wolfson Clinical Fellow) and doctoral student Lauren Byrne, who are all based at The Huntington's Disease Centre at University College London. The focus of this podcast is on Huntington's disease (HD) - an inherited neurodegenerative disorder that causes changes in movement, learning, thinking, and emotions. In addition to hearing about the work the panel is doing to understand cognitive impairment and neuropsychiatric symptoms of HD, including HD-linked dementia, we also learn how their research can be translated to other areas of dementia research and the different career paths that led them to HD research.
