Dr Tim Wilkinson, a clinical research fellow in Prof Cathie Sudlow’s UK Biobank and Dementias Platform UK group based in CCBS, has been awarded an MRC clinical research training fellowship to pursue a big data epidemiology project in the field of dementia.
Tim plans to use the UK Biobank and other large datasets to develop and validate clinically useful prediction tools for identifying people at risk of developing dementia, who might be eligible for recruitment into trials of novel preventive treatments, or to receive such treatments in the future.
