Sex Differences in Risk & Resilience to Alzheimer’s Disease
08/04/2024 @ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm
In this Ann S. Bowers Women’s Brain Health Initiative Seminar, you will hear from Dr Rachel Buckley presenting work on Sex Differences in Risk & Resilience to Alzheimer’s Disease
Most of what we know about health and disease centers on the male body. Neuroscientists overlook aspects of the human condition relevant to half of the global population (e.g. the menstrual cycle, the pill, pregnancy, menopause). The Ann S. Bowers WBHI advances the study of women’s brain health through deeply collaborative science. By integrating research activities across campuses and bringing together world-class expertise in neuroimaging, computer science/AI and healthcare, the University of California is in a unique position to lead these efforts in partnership with institutions around the world.
Speaker
Rachel is a cognitive neuroscientist whose research interests focus on harmonizing multiple cohorts to understand risk and resilience in preclinical Alzheimer’s disease, as well as sex differences in preclinical Alzheimer’s Disease. She is a K99/R00 Pathway to Independence Award recipient, as well as an Alzheimer’s Association Research Fellow. Rachel is also Vice-Chair of the Sex and Gender in Alzheimer’s Disease Professional Interest Area (PIA) for the Alzheimer’s Association, a Special Editor for the Alzheimer’s & Dementia DADM subjournal, and a Editorial Board member for Neurology.
