Research Interests for Patients
My research explores personalized risk assessment, lifestyle recommendations, and potential disease-altering approaches for those most likely to benefit. I have a passion for preventing dementia. I have an interest in cognitive decline in Parkinson's disease focusing on modifiable and/or treatable risk factors. I am interested in understanding the profound sex differences in Alzheimer's disease. I am also interested in the real-world response to anti-amyloid therapies in populations not well-represented in the original clinical trials including atypical presentations of Alzheimer's disease.
