Research Fellow at University College London.
Coco is a cognitive neuroscientist focused on finding ways to detect dementia earlier. In her PhD at the University of Cambridge, funded by the Alzheimer’s Society, she worked on challenging the assumption that memory decline is the first symptom of Alzheimer’s disease dementia - showing instead that navigation impairments may occur earlier.
Currently Coco works as a research fellow within in the Alzheimer’s Research UK ‘Early Detection of Neurodegeneration’ (EDoN) initiative, identifying early-stage technologies that could provide personalised digital biomarkers of different dementia diseases.
