Dr. Cohen has broad training from her predoctoral and postdoctoral training in animal models of neurodegenerative disease and, during her postdoctoral training and K award training, experience in the analysis of PET imaging in humans, with research interests in neuroimaging of normal aging and Alzheimer’s disease and early detection and treatment of
Alzheimer’s disease. Her current research and future interests focus on factors that convey risk or resistance to Alzheimer’s disease pathology in both cognitively normal elderly individuals or animal models of Alzheimer’s disease.
