Amber Yaqub

Amber Yaqub is an active Epidemiology Researcher at Erasmus University Medical Center specializing in neurodegenerative and cardiovascular biomarkers. Her work bridges molecular biology and population health with a focus on microRNA signatures and neuroimaging correlates.

Her primary research interests include:

• Neurodegeneration mechanisms through circulatory microRNA analysis
• Cardiovascular-cognitive risk interrelationships
• Population-based brain health markers via MRI
• Methodological approaches to cohort harmonization

Recent publications demonstrate strong trends in biomarker discovery for Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia, with particular emphasis on:

• MicroRNA profiling in blood plasma
• Heart-brain axis interactions
• Motoric cognitive risk syndrome progression
• Meta-analytical approaches to community-based data

No scientific awards were documented in the source material.

Dr. Yaqub maintains extensive collaborative networks across European and North American institutions, frequently co-authoring with leaders in neuroepidemiology like M. Arfan Ikram and Meike W. Vernooij. Her research leverages large consortium data including the Cross-Cohort Collaboration Consortium.
