Joyce Siette

Research Theme Fellow, Western Sydney University

Dr Siette is currently leading a program of research to identify how we can best prevent dementia through lifestyle approaches for seniors.

She commenced her research journey at the University of New South Wales working with older rats and found that physical exercise completely reversed the degradation accompanied with sedentary ageing in the brain. She then worked as a Programme Manager in social psychiatry at Queen Mary, University of London, the only WHO Collaborating Centre for Mental Health Service Development, where she led a team to evaluate the impact of befriending programs for people with psychosis.

Between 2015 and 2021, Joyce was a Research Fellow at Macquarie University and worked with data to build a more sensitive health informatics framework for older adults in aged care.

Dr Siette is now based at Western Sydney University to continue her research journey in unravelling how digital health and informatics can support healthy brain ageing.
