Dr Rosalind Brown
Rosalind is the network coordinator for the Leducq funded project. She works closely with the centres to produce the funding reports, keep track of budgets and organise meetings. She is also involved in several other projects at the University of Edinburgh including the Row Fogo Centre for Research into Ageing and the Brain and SVDs@target, and is study manager for R4VaD - an observational study of post-stroke cognition. Prior to joining Professor Wardlaw’s group, Rosalind was a postdoctoral researcher studying rodent models of Alzheimer’s Disease.
