Research Interests

I am an Associate Professor of Neurology at the University of Cape Town and a fellow of the Race Against Dementia. My research focuses on cognitive impairment and the neurology of HIV infection. I am co-PI of the CONNECT study, investigating the CNS effects of the programmatic shift from efavirenz- to dolutegravir-based antiretroviral therapy in Cape Town. I am PI of the Ingqondo study funded by the Donald Gordon Foundation, which examines inflammatory and infective mechanisms of Alzheimer’s disease. I am chair of the International HIV-Cognition Working Group, reframing criteria for cognitive impairment in people living with HIV.
