Dr Eneida Mioshi University positionClinical Research Associate Dr Eneida Mioshi is pleased to consider applications from prospective PhD students. DepartmentsResearch ThemeInterestsMy research focuses on the impact of dementias and other progressive neurodegenerative diseases on everyday functioning (e.g., Activities of daily living), and family carers. To this end, my research involves development of better assessments of disability, investigation of the underlying behavioural and cognitive symptoms behind functional disability, and developing non-pharmacological interventions that compensate for these deficits. I am very interested in developing more sensitive and specific assessments of disability in dementia and neurodegeneration. In particular, these assessments should tap into cognitive and behavioural symptoms, as well as external factors around the patient. I am committed to creating a novel scientific framework of disability that will support the development of novel interventions. In time, these interventions would be rigorously tested and rolled out to the health services. Research Focus
