This broad research scope is supported by our diverse team of professionals including medical practitioners, nursing staff, pharmaceutical experts, psychologists, economists, social workers, sociologists, music therapists, caregivers, and individuals with lived dementia experience. Our Research Group collaborates with academic researchers, healthcare providers, and social care professionals across multiple disciplines at Stirling, as well as with global partners throughout Europe, the Americas, Asia, and Oceania.
