Angeles Tepper

Dr. Angeles Tepper is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow affiliated with the Connect Lab in the Institute of Gerontology at Wayne State University and the Exercise Psychology Lab at Northeastern University. Her research investigates how physical activities—including yoga, aerobic exercise, and stretching—impact neurocognitive performance and brain health in aging populations.

Her academic credentials include:

• Ph.D. in Neuroscience from Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile (2022)
• M.Sc. in Neuroscience from Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile (2019)
• Bachelor's in Bioengineering from Universidad Nacional de Entre Ríos, Argentina (2017)

Dr. Tepper's work bridges neuroscience, exercise psychology, and gerontology, emphasizing non-pharmacological interventions for cognitive resilience in older adults. She explores neurobiological mechanisms linking physical activity to improved brain function, with applications for healthy aging.

Her notable recognition includes:

• WIN Global Scholar award from the University of Oxford (2022)

Dr. Tepper actively disseminates neuroscience knowledge through her social media platform @lacerebra, advocating for active lifestyles to enhance brain health. Her current research collaborations span Wayne State University's Connect Lab and Northeastern University's Exercise Psychology Lab.
