Overview

Professor Louise Allan moved to the University of Exeter as Professor of Geriatric Medicine in June 2018. She has a specialist interest in the Neurology and Psychiatry of Old Age and is a member of the Centre for Research in Ageing and Cognitive Health (REACH), which is a joint venture between the School of Psychology, the University of Exeter Medical School and PenCLAHRC.

Current research themes focus on falls and physical health care in dementia, the effects of delirium upon cognitive decline, and non-Alzheimer’s dementias including post-stroke dementia and Lewy body disease.

Louise completed undergraduate studies at Oxford University and then did house jobs in Oxford and Whitehaven, after which she moved to Newcastle to complete higher medical training as a Geriatrician. She had an Alzheimer’s Society Fellowship for the completion of her doctoral studies on autonomic dysfunction in dementia and then she became a lecturer at Newcastle University (2007-2008) and subsequently a senior lecturer (2008-2018). Clinically, Louise will be working as a Geriatrician in the memory clinic at the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital.

Research

Research interests

Louise’s research focusses on three themes: Physical health in dementia and Delirium, Vascular Cognitive Impairment and Lewy Body disease.

1.         Physical health in dementia

She has previously published work on the risk factors for falls in people with dementia, and is currently leading an NIHR funded Health Technology Assessment Programme to investigate whether it is possible to design a complex intervention to improve the outcome of fall related injuries in dementia (https://research.ncl.ac.uk/difrid/ ).

During her research into dementia delirium has emerged as a significant theme which needs further investigation. The DECIDE study is examining the role of delirium as a potential cause of and exacerbating factor for dementia in a  prospective study which we are now undertaking with the CFAS II cohort.

2.         Vascular Cognitive Impairment

This work includes the long term follow up of the MRC funded COGFAST cohort, one of the world’s largest and longest running clinicopathological cohort studies of people with cerebrovascular disease. We have reported on the long term incidence and neuropathological features of dementia and depression after stroke, and in particular identified that delayed dementia after stroke is primarily associated with predominantly vascular rather than mixed pathology.

We have also established a Nigerian cohort (COGFAST-Nigeria), which will enable comparisons of Vascular Cognitive Impairment between developed and developing countries, the latter being an increasingly important setting for dementia research due to the expanding and ageing demographics in the developing world.

3.         Lewy Body disease

The investigation of Lewy Body disorders is an important focus of research for the DEMANDS group and we host an NIHR Biomedical Research Unit in Lewy Body disease. She is a co-investigator in the DIAMOND-Lewy study, an NIHR funded programme grant which aims to improve the diagnosis and management of Lewy body disorders including Dementia with Lewy bodies and Parkinson’s disease dementia (https://research.ncl.ac.uk/diamondlewy/).

She has an interest in autonomic dysfunction in dementia, and previous work in the MRC funded Lewy Body Disease cohort study has shown that autonomic dysfunction is a particularly common feature of the Lewy body dementias and an important risk factor for falls.
