Alyce is a medical scientist with over a decade of experience in both academia and industry, specialising in biostatistics, bioinformatics and data analysis in the public health domain. She has had numerous roles in research, statistical consultation, data management, teaching and supervision.
Prior to joining Brightwater, her research focus spanned the topics of Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, cardiometabolic disorders, subclinical health status and healthy ageing, with several high-impact publications. Alyce’s PhD thesis was a thorough investigation of how the genome, transcriptome and cellular environment effects immunoglobulin G N-glycosylation in participants from the Busselton Health Ageing Study. It highlighted the underlying biology of subclinical and clinical health in this ageing population and received the 2019 ECU School of Medical and Health Sciences Research Award as the highest quality thesis for her year.
While her career focus has been primarily in health and medical research, Alyce has provided key statistical and data analytic skills to several other industries, including psychology, agriculture, food science, transport and environment.
At Brightwater, Alyce supports the Brightwater Research Centre across multiple disciplines to check and prepare datasets, perform statistical analyses and provide detailed reports of project findings. She is also leading the WASABI project assessing the response and functional outcomes of people with an acquired brain injury undertaking neurorehabilitation.
