Menopause Matters: A better health service for women
Start date
2022End date
2023Overview
This project is conducted in collaboration with the Royal Surrey County Hospital. We will work on increasing patient awareness and understanding of the menopause transition, and how/where they are able seek additional health support.
We will also develop improved crosstalk between gynaecologists and nutritionists/dieticians at Royal Surrey to ensure patients receive high-quality, holistic support tailored to them to reduce their menopause symptoms, with focus on gut health at menopause and how improving diet and nutrition could alleviate symptoms not relieved by hormone replacement therapy.

Biography
I read for my PhD at Birkbeck College, University of London and went on to receive postdoctoral training at University College London, King's College London, the National Institutes of Health, USA and the University of Oxford.
Since 2016, I am an associate professor in Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience at the University of Surrey, and head of the Social Brain & Development (SBD) Lab.
As a developmental cognitive neuroscientist, I use a combination of behavioural tests and brain-imaging techniques to understand how improving cognitive abilities and changes in brain function and structure shape the emerging social brain network.
I am also investigating the role of the microbiome gut-brain axis on behaviour and brain function in development, together with the Brain NUtrition Gut Microbiome group, a multidisciplinary research group at the University of Surrey.
