Dr Chi Udeh-Momoh is a Translational Neuroscientist with affiliations at Imperial College London, Karolinska Institute and Bristol University. Having completed a competitive CASE PhD studentship in Neuroscience and Neuroendocrinology at the MRC Centre for Synaptic Plasticity at the University of Bristol (2010-2014), her current research focuses on dementia prevention bio-mechanistic pathways and strategies, also across diverse populations. In 2018, she founded the FINGER-AFRICA project that aims to promote brain health and mitigate biomarker-access inequalities through culturally-sensitive sustainable multimodal intervention strategies in Sub-Saharan African populations, and identify related molecular mechanisms contributing to observed effects. She is co-Lead of the World-Wide FINGERS Biomarker Consortium, and on the Executive committee for the Biofluids-biomarker-based PIA of the Alzheimer’s Association ISTAART (2018 - present). She is also co-Founder of the Female Brain and Endocrine Research consortium (FEMBER).
