Lindsay Wallace

Lindsay is a Canadian Banting Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Cambridge in Public Health. She is from Halifax, Nova Scotia in Canada and has earned an MSc from McGill University (Neuroscience), and a PhD from Dalhousie University (Interdisciplinary Health Studies). She blends insights from epidemiology, public health, and neuroscience to better understand how dementia arises and how public health approaches may be able to address prevention.

The majority of her work to date has used data from large epidemiologic clinico-pathologic studies to answer questions about how ageing and frailty are related to the pathology and clinical expression of dementia. As a postdoc under the supervision of Prof. Carol Brayne, she is now investigating scalable public health approaches to reduce population dementia
