In this role she supports the Co-Directors and CHeBA researchers to perform their research effectively, with a particular emphasis on research governance and liaison with relevant regulatory bodies. Dr Catts manages the CHeBA Research Bank, facilitating the sharing of data collected as part of the Memory and Ageing Study (MAS), the Sydney Centenarian Study (SCS) and the Older Australian Twins Study (OATS) - all longitudinal studies of ageing with assessments across multiple research domains: neuropsychological assessment of cognitive function, questionnaires detailing lifestyle, physical and mental health of self and family, blood biochemistry and genetics, and neuroimaging including MRI and PET scans.
