- Grants
- 3 known grants, through Mar 2030
What they work on
- Identify molecular markers for Alzheimer's disease in cognitively normal individuals.
- Characterize the course of preclinical Alzheimer's disease progression.
- Examine the role of tau burden in preclinical Alzheimer's disease.
- Investigate how lifestyle factors like physical activity affect Alzheimer's progression.
More about the research
The lab studies how changes in the brain can indicate the potential onset of Alzheimer's, even before symptoms appear. Through various projects, they explore factors that may influence the progression from preclinical conditions to symptomatic Alzheimer's while examining biological tests and lifestyle factors that may impact brain health.
Known grants
From NIH and NSF research grants. Labs often have other funding we can't see.
