We are a diverse, open-minded, and motivated group of individuals who thrive on working collaboratively in a supportive environment. Research in our lab uses behavioral and neuroimaging (primarily MRI) methods to study how aging, biological sex, gender, and reserve factors affect brain aging and episodic memory across the adult lifespan. We study adults aged 18 – 75 years of age with and without risk factors for late onset sporadic Alzheimer’s Disease.

Our current projects are primarily focused on brain aging and cognition at midlife; women’s brain health; the role of social determinant of health on brain health and cognition; and the link between midlife cardiovascular health and later life brain health & cognitive decline in women and men from various backgrounds.
