Biography: Laura Middleton is an Associate Professor and the Schlegel Research Chair in Dementia and Active Living in the Department of Kinesiology and Health Sciences at the University of Waterloo. Her research aims to identify strategies to promote health, wellbeing, and function of those living with, or at risk for, dementia.
