Bio:
My research focuses on neuroepidemiology within the context of health disparities, with special interest in neuropsychology, neuroimaging, and quantitative analytics. I have graduate certification in public health genetics, machine learning, and a background in molecular pathology. I am PI of two large studies focused on cognitive and socio-cultural features related to Alzheimer’s disease and vascular aging in American Indians (R01AG070822, RF1AG071677) and a plasma biomarkers pilot study in the same population, funded by University of Washington Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center (UW ADRC). I also lead a large, longitudinal epidemiology study with detailed cognitive, clinical, and imaging data on more than 1,000 American Indian adults over two timepoints (K01AG057821 Suchy-Dicey; R01HL093086 Buchwald; P50AG005136 Grabowski), including detailed dementia case review and adjudications efforts in collaboration with UW ADRC Clinical Core. I have more than 15 years’ experience working with large population-based cohorts, among them the Cardiovascular Health Study and the Seattle Kidney Study. I serve as chair of the Strong Heart Study Neurology working group, and am involved in the Collaborative Cohort of Cohorts for COVID-19 Research (C4R) study. I mentor several graduate students, post-doctorates, and junior faculty, including primary mentoring on the Resource Center for Minority Aging Research in Alzheimer’s Disease center at WSU and the Alzheimer’s Disease Center of Excellence at UC Denver. I serve on the WSU Institutional Review Board and the WSU Faculty Senate Graduate Studies Committee, and chair the IREACH Publications & Presentations committee.
