Ruby Tsang

I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Gallacher group. My research interests include: (1) vascular contributions to later-life cognitive and mental health, (2) physical-mental multimorbidity, and longitudinal modelling of later-life cognitive and mental health trajectories. My current work focuses on examining the effects of early-life adversity on later-life cognitive and mental health outcomes.

Prior to joining the group, I completed a PhD in Psychiatry at the University of New South Wales, Australia, during which I explored genetic, environmental and epigenetic influences on late-life depression. I also held part-time research positions during my PhD candidature, which involved conducting interviews and neuropsychological testing with older adults, and contributing to several dementia knowledge translation projects.
