Research

Professor Chan's primary interest is the detection of preclinical Alzheimer's disease (AD) using next generation digital technologies including VR-, AR- and app-based tests.  Complementing his work in human cohorts at risk of sporadic and familial AD, he co-leads a translational research programme aimed at establishing the association between AD cellular pathology and onset of cognitive decline. Professor Chan also leads a new initiative delivering an ethics-based systems framework for the future clinical deployment of next generation precision neurotechnologies.
