Description This postdoctoral position is broadly focused on Alzheimer’s disease progression modeling and dementia risk factors. The postdoctoral scholar will have the opportunity to analyze neuroimaging data from the LASI-DAD project, a unique, in-depth study of aging and dementia in India. The aim is to understand how various dementia risk factors that LASI-DAD has measured are associated with brain structure, brain function and dementia progression.
Other potential projects include developing and/or applying computational models to understand the spread of Alzheimer’s pathologies (e.g. amyloid plaques or tau tangles) using PET or immunohistochemistry based measures.
