    Dr Gemma Lace - Pursuing Your Passion: Finding Purpose in Chaos
    Dec 4 2025

    Gemma Lace, narrates her blog written for the Dementia Researcher website.

    Gemma joins our lineup of regular bloggers, and in this first post Gemma explores the moments that shaped her journey from a first in family student to Associate Dean and dementia researcher. She describes the triggers that guided her choices, from a desire to help others to a commitment to equity, inspiration, mentoring and finding her own path. Through personal stories and reflections on work, family and purpose, she encourages early career researchers to notice what brings them energy and joy and to use those clues to shape a future that feels meaningful.

    Dr Gemma Lace is Associate Dean Academic for Student Experience and leads the Molecular Biology Dementia Group at the University of Salford, where she investigates abnormal protein accumulation and small extracellular vesicles in neurodegenerative disease. Funded by Alzheimer’s Research UK and the Alzheimer’s Society, she combines research with supporting future scientists, drawing on a career that spans a Neuroscience degree, a PhD in Genomic Medicine and work across major neurodegenerative conditions. Motivated by family experience, she is dedicated to improving understanding of dementia, and outside work she is a life coach, martial artist and mother of three.

  • Rebecca Williams - The Rocky Road to PhD Submission

    Rebecca Williams - The Rocky Road to PhD Submission
    Nov 30 2025

    Rebecca Williams, narrates her blog written for the Dementia Researcher website.

    In this blog, Rebecca Williams reflects on the final stretch toward submitting her PhD thesis and offers a candid account of the pressure, doubt and exhaustion that shape the closing weeks. She shares how expectations about perfection created unnecessary obstacles, how imposter feelings surfaced at the moment she most hoped for clarity, and how the support of others proved essential when her own energy ran low. Her story highlights the value of community, perspective and acceptance during an emotionally intense period that many researchers will recognise. Find the original text, and narration here on our website. https://www.dementiaresearcher.nihr.ac.uk/blog-the-rocky-road-to-phd-submission/ --

    Rebecca Williams is PhD student at the University of Cambridge. Though originally from ‘up North’ in a small town called Leigh, she did her undergraduate and masters at the University of Oxford before defecting to Cambridge for her doctorate researching Frontotemporal dementia and Apathy. She now spends her days collecting data from wonderful volunteers, and coding. Outside work, she plays board games, and is very crafty. @beccasue99

  • Dr Becky Carlyle - A Scientific Christmas Message of Hope

    Dr Becky Carlyle - A Scientific Christmas Message of Hope
    Nov 27 2025

    Dr Becky Carlyle, narrates her blog written for the Dementia Researcher website.

    In this blog Becky reflects on what recent work in molecular neurodegeneration reveals about progress in dementia research. Drawing on developments in early diagnosis, cerebrospinal fluid staging, high throughput proteomics and large scale single cell data, she explains why the past five years have transformed what we can measure and understand. These advances give researchers new ways to define disease stages, identify meaningful sub groups and uncover cell specific vulnerabilities. She describes why this creates genuine momentum for targeted treatments and why the tools needed to match medicines to the right people at the right time are now within reach.

    Dr Becky Carlyle is an Alzheimer's Research UK Senior Research Fellow at University of Oxford, and has previously worked in the USA. Becky writes about her experiences of starting up a research lab and progressing into a more senior research role. Becky's research uses mass-spectrometry to quantify thousands of proteins in the brains and biofluids of people with dementia. Her lab is working on various projects, including work to compare brain tissue from people with dementia from Alzheimer’s Disease, to tissue from people who have similar levels of Alzheimer’s Disease pathology but no memory problems. Becky is also a mum, she runs, drinks herbal tea's and reads lots of books. Find Becky on LinkedIn
