Join Us Each Month
IHCC’s free educational webinar series features new speakers each month who present their research and expertise in various fields of health sciences. With the ultimate goal to bring cohorts together to enhance information-sharing and collaboration, this online series aims to provide a forum for cohort members to:
- exchange scientific ideas, best practices, and lessons learned;
- showcase cohorts’ accomplishments, emphasizing LMICs;
- share international funding opportunities;
- and more!
Upcoming Webinar
"Multi-Cohort Mental Health Research and Analyst Training with Dementias Platform UK"
May 23rd, 2023, 9:00 AM EDT, 2:00 PM UTC
Dr. Sarah Bauermeister
Dr. Sarah Bauermeister is a cognitive neuropsychologist and epidemiologist managing scientific research across multiple multi-disciplinary projects. She is also the Senior Data Manager for Dementias Platform UK (DPUK) a cohort data repository for 60+ cohorts (3.6 million+ participants).
For DPUK, she leads the training programme for analysts, plus she’s the programme lead for DPUK Data curation. She is also the scientific reviewer for the DPUK Data Portal and represents DPUK internationally.
About the Talk
Dementias Platform UK (DPUK) is a cohort repository for over 60 population and clinical cohorts across ~3.5m individuals. DPUK facilitates data access for multi-cohort multi-modal projects in mental health and neurodegenerative disease. I will be presenting on DPUK and the training programme I lead for ECRs. I will also present on some exemplar multi-cohort multi-modal projects within my scientific programme.
