Dr Gemma Lace - Pursuing Your Passion: Finding Purpose in Chaos

Gemma Lace, narrates her blog written for the Dementia Researcher website.

Gemma joins our lineup of regular bloggers, and in this first post Gemma explores the moments that shaped her journey from a first in family student to Associate Dean and dementia researcher. She describes the triggers that guided her choices, from a desire to help others to a commitment to equity, inspiration, mentoring and finding her own path. Through personal stories and reflections on work, family and purpose, she encourages early career researchers to notice what brings them energy and joy and to use those clues to shape a future that feels meaningful.

Dr Gemma Lace is Associate Dean Academic for Student Experience and leads the Molecular Biology Dementia Group at the University of Salford, where she investigates abnormal protein accumulation and small extracellular vesicles in neurodegenerative disease. Funded by Alzheimer’s Research UK and the Alzheimer’s Society, she combines research with supporting future scientists, drawing on a career that spans a Neuroscience degree, a PhD in Genomic Medicine and work across major neurodegenerative conditions. Motivated by family experience, she is dedicated to improving understanding of dementia, and outside work she is a life coach, martial artist and mother of three.
