- Research interest for patients
-
My research interests focus on better understanding changes to brain function in aging and among patients with cognitive problems, including dementia and Alzheimer's disease. I lead a research program within the University of Colorado Alzheimer's and Cognition Center with a goal to develop methods that can detect brain changes very early in Alzheimer's disease, prior to the development of cognitive or memory symptoms. I also work with members of our research team to develop and test new treatments for neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease. Ongoing projects in my lab include: 1) development of digital biomarkers for "wearable" devices that detect abnormal brain aging and early neurodegenerative disease risk, 2) assessment of the neuroprotective properties of sleep in the context of aging and neurodegenerative disease, and 3) integrating age-related changes in brain communication to molecular phenotypes that precede the development of classic neurodegenerative pathology.
