Dr Clíona Farrell, narrating her blog written for the Dementia Researcher website.
In this blog, Clíona reflects on her experience at the UK DRI Vascular ECR conference, where patient and public involvement and engagement (PPIE) was embedded throughout the event. From shaping research discussions to helping early career researchers improve accessibility, Clíona shares how the inclusion of lived experience experts made the conference more insightful, collaborative, and engaging. She argues that PPIE isn't just for clinical researchers – it benefits preclinical science too and should be a standard part of the research process.
Dr Clíona Farrell is a Postdoctoral Researcher in the UK Dementia Research Institute at University College London. Her work focuses on understanding neuroinflammation in Down syndrome, both prior to, and in response to, Alzheimer’s disease pathology. Originally from Dublin, Ireland, Clíona completed her undergraduate degree in Neuroscience in Trinity College, and then worked as a research assistant in the Royal College of Surgeons studying ALS and Parkinson’s disease. She also knows the secret behind scopping the perfect 99 ice-cream cone. @ClionaFarrell_
