I also spent two months as a visiting researcher at the Brocher Foundation (Geneva, Switzerland) in 2014. I also previously held an NHMRC-ARC Dementia Research Development Fellowship. The first two years of this fellowship were undertaken in Canada with the University of Sydney and the Department of Medicine at Dalhousie University, with the final two years completed at UniSA. I hold affiliate status with the College of Pharmacy, Dalhousie University.
