Cognitive impairment is highly prevalent and disabling, yet treatment options remain limited. As such there is a pressing need to investigate innovative therapeutic approaches. In order to drive meaningful innovation we must first identify appropriate and relevant therapeutic targets that are proximal to the symptoms we aim to treat.
In this talk, Professor Hoy will provide an overview of her research program, which focuses on developing brain stimulation therapies for cognitive disorders by targeting dysfunctional neural networks. Using an iterative, three-stage model, this work integrates cognitive neuroscience, mechanistic studies, and targeted clinical trials to develop and evaluate optimised, non-invasive brain stimulation protocols for the treatment of cognitive disorders. The presentation will highlight the program’s research in Alzheimer’s disease and recent commercialisation activities.
