Rachelle is currently completing her PhD which was funded by an Alzheimer’s Research UK Clinical Research Fellowship. She qualified in Medicine from UCL Medical School and is currently taking time out from her neurology training in London. Her research focused on developing new biomarkers to try to identify the presence of TDP-43 or associated proteins such as stathmin-2 and PPIA in the blood or spinal fluid of people with FTD.
