Masashi Kitazawa, PhD Google My primary research emphasis centers on understanding the molecular pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and the impact of neuroinflammation elicited endogenously by disruption of normal immune responses by aging or by exogenous environmental factors, such as chronic exposure to environmental chemicals and toxicants. By using multiple experimental
Joseph S. Goveas Google Dr. Goveas is a fellowship-trained, board-certified geriatric psychiatrist with an interest in elucidating the brain-behavior relationships in normal aging, prolonged grief disorder (a.k.a. complicated grief), and late-life depression. Our current research focuses on improving understanding of the neurobiological markers that may help us predict who, following the death of a loved
Adam M. Brickman Linkedin Twitter Dr. Brickman uses advanced neuroimaging techniques to understand cognitive aging and dementia. He is particularly interested in white matter abnormalities and the intersection between vascular disease and Alzheimer’s disease. Ongoing Research: The effect of age on neuromorphology and its cognitive consequences. His current research efforts focus primarily on “normal” cognitive
Mark P. Burns Linkedin Twitter Google Dr Burns’ lab investigates the link between traumatic brain injury (TBI) and Alzheimer’s disease. Exposure to TBI can quadruple the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease, and amyloid plaques similar to those seen in Alzheimer’s disease have been found in the brain of TBI fatalities. Dr Burns’ lab recently found
Corinne Engelman Linkedin Facebook Google Dr. Engelman earned her MS in Public Health (2002) and PhD in Epidemiology (2006) from the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center and has been a faculty member in Population Health Sciences at UW-Madison since 2007. Her research focuses on the study design and data analysis of genetic, demographic, socioeconomic,
Els D. Fieremans Linkedin Twitter Facebook Google In my current research, I focus on validation methods for diffusion MRI including both hardware and numerical phantoms, as well as animal models. I thereby seek to develop and translate new imaging markers for neurodegeneration, as well as body diffusion applications in muscle and the prostate, using advanced biophysical modeling of non-Gaussian
