معرفی
Dr. Avinash Chandra is a Postdoctoral Research Assistant at the Centre for Prevention, Detection and Diagnosis within the Wolfson Institute of Population Health at Queen Mary University of London. He specializes in the intersection of genetics, in vivo biomarkers, and technology for early dementia diagnosis, with a particular focus on Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI).
- Education: PhD in Clinical Neuroscience, King’s College London
Research Interests
Dr. Chandra’s work emphasizes:
- Automated brain image analysis for equitable dementia diagnosis (ABATED project)
- Role of amyloid, tau, and neuroinflammation PET imaging in AD/MCI
- Genetic polymorphisms (e.g., Aquaporin-4, CD33, TREM2) influencing neuropathology and clinical outcomes
- Modifiable lifestyle interventions for dementia prevention
- Investigation of social determinants and psychosocial factors in dementia risk
- Multi-modal imaging techniques in neurodegenerative diseases
Publication Trends
His recent work (2023-2025) spans dementia prevention strategies in low-income settings, hearing loss as a risk factor, cultural variations in AI diagnostics, and the interplay between social stressors (like marital dissolution) and β-amyloid pathology. Earlier publications focus on genetic biomarkers and neuroimaging techniques in AD/MCI progression.
