Research

Dementia biomarker research in older adults Active

Circulating miRNA candidates, serum protein markers, and molecular signals relevant to Alzheimer's disease and cognitive decline in clinically complex geriatric patients. The focus is on reproducibility, cross-dataset harmonisation, and clinical interpretability in patients with frailty, multimorbidity, and medication burden.

This work includes AI-assisted evidence synthesis workflows for structured evaluation of candidate biomarker evidence across heterogeneous sources. The aim is not simply to find signals, but to ask whether those signals remain meaningful when they leave the clean setting in which they were first observed.

Vascular biomarkers, mobility, and functional outcomes in aging Active

Research on relationships between vascular and inflammatory markers and physical performance in older adults, with attention to mobility, timed functional testing, and clinically interpretable effect sizes.

A marker is more interesting when it says something about how a patient moves, recovers, or loses independence.

Artificial intelligence in geriatric rehabilitation planning Active

A project examining how AI-assisted tools are used in rehabilitation planning for older adults — what they do in practice, how they are validated, and whether they account for frailty, cognition, caregiver dependence, workflow constraints, and real-world implementation barriers.

Clinical AI & evidence methods

Clinical AI study-design risk framework for older-adult care In development

A developing framework for evaluating AI-assisted clinical studies and tools intended for older-adult populations. The focus is on common failure points: data leakage, weak validation strategy, population mismatch, workflow assumptions, lack of clinical actionability, human oversight, and underrepresentation of frail or cognitively impaired patients.

The goal is to make early design questions more explicit before they become late-stage limitations.

AI-assisted evidence synthesis workflows Active

Human-audited workflows for literature screening, data extraction, harmonisation, structured comparison, and draft development in clinical research.

The machine may help with the sorting. It should not be left alone with the conclusion.

Digital health concepts

Several projects focus on the organisation, interpretation, and communication of complex clinical information in older-adult care — areas where digital tools could reduce confusion, support clinical reasoning, and fit real care settings without adding another layer of work.

Digital health concepts for older-adult care In developement

These concepts address practical information problems in geriatric care, especially where clinical complexity, caregiver communication, medication burden, and continuity of care affect safety and decision-making. Areas of interest include medical document organisation and summarisation, medication burden review and deprescribing support, and care coordination tools for families and caregivers.

At this stage these are described only at the level of clinical problem areas, not implementation plans.

Student & collaborative projects

Through academic teaching and student research supervision, I support work involving geriatric case reports, reviews, clinical observations, conference presentations, and small research projects related to aging medicine.

A well-observed clinical question is usually a better starting point than a grand project that has not yet met a patient.
