I am interested in studying the impact of co-morbid medical and lifestyle factors, including vascular diseases, medications, and diet and exercise, on risk for and neuroimaging biomarkers of dementia. Finally, I have an interest in identifying and evaluating genetic variations that are associated with AD pathology using biomarkers as endophenotypes.In my free time, I enjoy playing tennis, biking, and hiking, as well as hunting for shark’s teeth and other fossils.
