She focuses on understanding of the determinants and consequences of poor brain health (cognition, mood, motivation) in persons living with HIV. Her group follows 850+ HIV+ individuals across Canada who are comprehensively characterized and followed to document the interplay and change over time in biological parameters, measures of brain health, function and quality of life.
