Orla completed her PhD at the University of Sussex where she investigated the effect of APOE4 on neurovascular function. As a Research Fellow at MGH, Orla continues to explore the effects of APOE on the vasculature, now in the context of CAA. She also uses imaging techniques to better understand mechanisms that underlie brain clearance and is interested in understanding how these mechanisms might be targeted therapeutically in CAA.
Trasna na dTonnta network
Trasna na dTonnta is DRNI’s network for the Irish dementia research diaspora – a network for Irish researchers based abroad who want to keep in touch with research happening on the island of Ireland, or wish to connect to other Irish researchers based overseas.
Our aims with the network are to strengthen links between Irish dementia researchers at home and abroad; to support Irish dementia researchers emigrating to new countries and those returning home; and to strengthen Irish dementia research by supporting international collaborations.
If you would like to join this network, please contact Vanessa Moore: info@dementianetwork.ie
