2021 was another big year in Public Health. So many talented and passionate researchers and educators in our School Monash Public Health! Read about some of the here (including work from the Biological Neuropsychiatry & Dementia Team)

The Monash Public Health 2021 Annual Report is out, and #BND_team are proud to see our work, and that of our colleagues and students, included with that of so many talented, passionate researchers and educators. Check it out -> bit.ly/3djd9E6

Although age is the strongest risk factor for dementia, there is no strong evidence that individuals with dementia have accelerated biological aging (based on existing epigenetic clocks). Read more --> doi.org/full/10.2217/e… @EpigenomicsFSG Congrats to all the authors #BND_team

Thanks @RoyalSocietyVic. I am deeply pleased to receive this award 🥈"Young Scientist Research Prize - Second Winner" for my PhD work. Monash University Monash Public Health Biological Neuropsychiatry & Dementia Team Rosanne Freak-Poli, PhD Joanne Ryan

I have been so lucky to be able to study with my two amazing supervisors, and to learn from all these brilliant scientists in the BND group and the ASPREE team. Feeling blessed

Our study found some gender differences in the association between grip strength and cognitive changes

Thanks Joanne Joanne Ryan for attending the graduation ceremony. I feel incredibly fortunate to be in such a great team #BND_team and to have you as my supervisor 😁😁

An absolute honour that the significance of our work has been recognised. This paper demonstrates that #loneliness is prospectively associated with cognitive decline and increases the risk of #Dementia by up to double, compared to being not lonely. j-alz.com/content/2023-a…

Sitting at home doing a crossword or playing chess is more likely to stave off dementia than knitting or catching up with friends. That's the finding of a new Melbourne study looking at the best ways to challenge our brains. youtu.be/4TNAgHfjad8 Elly Wicks #7NEWS

Our study found several types of leisure activities that may be particularly beneficial to cognitive function in later life. Many thanks to Joanne Ryan and all coauthors ASPREE

Higher levels of triglyceride may be linked to lower risk of dementia, as suggested by our recent ASPREE study led by Zhen (Lucy) Zhou and colleagues. Check the details here 🫴 n.neurology.org/content/early/… #triglycerides #dementia #BND_team

Congrats to #BND_Team’s newest "doctor" Dinuli Nilaweera. Dr Dinuli Nilaweera's PhD explored the impact of stress on later-life health. Here are some publications from her PhD researchgate.net/profile/Dinuli… #PhDone #proud

Kicking off the new year in style! Looking forward to showcasing all the great work the team accomplishes this year! Missing our lead person Joanne Ryan without whom none of our wins would be possible. Also missing Dr Peter Fransquet and Zhen (Lucy) Zhou. Here’s to a great 2024!!! #Cheers

We are proud to announce Dinuli Nilaweera 's PhD graduation from Monash University! Her doctoral research explores the impact of adverse life events, stress and trauma on dementia risk. Congratulations, Dr. Nilaweera and we cannot wait to see what you do next! #PhD #Graduation

🎉🎊Massive congratulations to Aung Z Z PHYO for being awarded the Monash FMNHS Early Career Postdoctoral Fellowship. With supervision from Joanne Ryan Aung will investigate the risk of frailty after cardiovascular disease. We wish them the very best!! Monash Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences @monash_SPHPM
