My research aims to inform policy on the challenges and opportunities posed by demographic ageing and associated prevalence of physical and cognitive decline, for health and social care systems in Europe and beyond. I have extensive experience working at the interface between policy and research, as well as designing, implementing and disseminating results for research projects in the fields of comparative health and social policy, policy design and public health. I am currently leading two research projects focused on strengthening research capacity, innovation dissemination and policy responses to support the development of long-term care and dementia care in Europe.
