BA (Hons), PhD

Research Fellow

Christa is a Research Fellow at the National Ageing Research Institute, working on a variety of projects all centred around quality of care for older people and its impact on their well-being.

Christa completed her PhD at the University of Melbourne, where her thesis was focused on trajectories of cognitive and brain ageing in the presence and absence of Alzheimer's disease neuropathological changes. This work showed that ageing without cognitive decline and minimal brain volume loss is possible; thus, the key question that drives her research is, "How do we make that more probable?"
