Dr. Lauren Walker is an Alzheimer's Research UK fellow at the Translational and Clinical Research Institute at Newcastle University. Her research focusses on neurodegenerative diseases that affect the ageing brain, with a particular interest on the impact of multiple pathologies in the clinical and pathological phenotypes of Lewy body diseases. Her studies have mainly focussed on histological evaluation of human post-mortem tissue and uses high-throughput automated quantitative neuropathological assessment from extensively clinically characterised cases, with the aim of teasing out distinct subtypes of neurodegenerative diseases. Current research aims are to incorporate in vivo studies to investigate when the onset of pathology may have an impact on the clinical and neuropathological outcomes of mixed dementia.
