Welmoed Krudop is a psychiatrist working at the clinic for geriatric psychiatry at GGZ inGeest and at the Alzheimer centre, Amsterdam UMC. In 2016 she defended her PhD-thesis on clinical differentiation between the behavioural variant of frontotemporal dementia and primary psychiatric disorders. The researched cohort was a novel collaboration between the old age psychiatry wards and out-patient clinics of GGZ inGeest and the Alzheimer centre of Amsterdam UMC and is still being followed up and researched nearly 10 years later. Her research as well as her clinical expertise focuses on neuropsychiatric differentiation and complex diagnosis, using newly emerging biomarkers in this field. She specialises in diagnosing early onset dementia’s, frontotemporal dementia, comorbid neurodegeneration in psychiatric illnesses and functional cognitive complaints as well as the bvFTD phenocopy syndrome.
