Understanding how to reduce risk for Alzheimer's disease and other dementias

What we do…

  • Elucidate factors that reduce or increase risk for Alzheimer's disease and other dementias (ADRD) using cognitive, behavioral, biofluid biomarkers and neuroimaging techniques

  • Develop and test interventions for reducing ARDR risk that employ culturally-appropriate outcome measures in socio-demographically diverse samples

  • Train the next generation of scientists in neuropsychology and cognitive sciences, including underrepresented minorities in STEM
