Researcher Interactions Question collection thread for S4ME Q&A with Dr Heidi Nicholl of Emerge Australia, Sept 2019

[Annamaria]

Will older people (65+), who are so often left out of research, be included?
We tend to have long and complicated histories (eg 50 years+) which surely could be of some value to researchers to analyse, as well as insights gained from our longer term perspective on the illness.

Certainly not included in the UK Biobank unfortunately.

Q&A now booked for Tuesday 3rd Sept, all questions posted up to the end of the Thursday before will be considered.

On a different topic. What is happening with L.Barnden neuroimaging studies next?

Is this something that Heidi is likely to know? While Google tells me that there is a Barnden at Griffith Uni I'm not clear why Heidi would know about the status of their work.

No, Heidi is unlikely to be able to provide any updates on Leighton’s work. That’s a NCNED question.

 

[Andy]

Bump. Any more questions?

 

[Andy]

A bit more time for questions as Heidi and I have had to reschedule to the following week.

 

[obeat]

Not sure if this has been asked. Will they store CSF samples?
