During my PhD, I investigated associations of novel blood and CSF based biomarkers with cognitive functioning\/ decline.
Currently I work as a coordinator within a national consortium, the Netherlands Dementia Prevention Initiative (NDPI), in which various partners from all
over the Netherlands work together to investigate how we can reduce people\u2019s risk of dementia.<\/p>

I am a practice-based researcher who uses the arts to connect people living in dementia care to their local community and challenge stigma associated with the disease through co-creation. My work places a particular emphasis on exchanging with people in the later stages of the disease, who are often bed-bound or unable to communicate verbally. I have a particular interest in intergenerational care and in developing sensory and creative methods to better include those people as co-researchers.

I am currently applying for funding with a research proposal that evaluates the effects of national public health policies on reducing the risk of dementia. This will contribute to the understanding of the paradox around the increasing number of people with dementia but decreasing dementia incidence in high-income countries. This project will use the latest advances in causal inference methods for policy evaluation and an inequalities approach.<\/p>
