Frontotemporal dementia accounts for ~15% of all dementias. It is as common as Alzheimer’s disease in the < 65 year olds but understanding of this disease remains limited. Over the next 5 years, my research will work towards improving diagnosis, prognosis and prediction of pathology, using a multidisclinary approach that combines clinical, brain imaging, genetics and neuropathological investigations. This research will contribute to improving the care and quality of life of dementia patients.

额颞叶痴呆症占所有痴呆症的约15%。它和65岁的老年痴呆症一样常见，但对这种疾病的了解仍然有限。在接下来的5年里，我的研究将致力于改善诊断，预后和病理预测，使用多学科方法，结合临床，脑成像，遗传学和神经病理学研究。这项研究将有助于改善痴呆症患者的护理和生活质量。
