Her research examines the impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection on dementia progression in Alzheimer's patients, leveraging data from the DZNE DELCODE study. She analyzes cognitive deficits, neuropsychiatric symptoms, and biomarkers (fluid/imaging) to identify clinical risk factors. This work seeks to clarify viral infections' role in Alzheimer's pathogenesis and inform preventive/therapeutic strategies.

No specific awards are listed, but her involvement in the Neuro-aCSis fellowship highlights her early-career research prominence.

Her clinical work integrates gerontopsychiatry with translational research, bridging patient care and scientific discovery.
