Research interests span early dementia detection, late-life depression, and the impact of social factors like loneliness on cognitive decline. His studies frequently address caregiver support, medication effects (e.g., statins, PPIs), and environmental adjustments for dementia patients. He has contributed to multinational trials like SENSE-Cog (hearing/vision interventions) and NILVAD (nilvadipine efficacy).
Key themes in his work include neurodegenerative mechanisms, polypharmacy risks, and the interplay between cardiovascular health and cognitive aging. He advocates for equitable dementia care and public awareness.
