Professor Sir Simon Lovestone has dedicated his working life to tackling dementia.
His research focuses on the regulation of tau phosphorylation, the search for genetic and other biomarkers of Alzheimer’s disease and, building on these, on drug discovery and experimental medicine. Underpinning all these studies is the use of informatics – clinical informatics, bioinformatics and the challenges of extracting value from very large variable datasets.
