She was lead author on a study published in the medical journal Brain in 2023 which is raising awareness of the scale of childhood dementia with researchers\, clinicians\, governments and policy makers globally. She was previously Head of Research at Sanfilippo Children’s Foundation which funds research into Sanfilippo syndrome\, one of the more than 100 rare diseases that cause childhood dementia\,and has also worked with several muscular dystrophy patient organisations both in Australia and the UK.
