Elizabeth Joe

Elizabeth Joe is an Assistant Professor of Clinical Neurology at the University of Southern California (USC). Her research focuses on neurodegenerative disorders, particularly Alzheimer’s disease, with an emphasis on vascular mechanisms, biomarkers, and clinical translation. She investigates cerebral hypoperfusion, blood-brain barrier dysfunction, and neuroimaging techniques to understand cognitive decline and dementia progression.

Key areas of investigation include the role of vascular factors in Alzheimer’s pathophysiology, the development of sensitive biomarkers for early detection, and the impact of FDA guidelines on clinical trial design. Her work bridges laboratory research with clinical practice, aiming to improve diagnostic accuracy and patient care in underserved populations.

Dr. Joe’s publications span neuroimaging advancements, vascular-neurological interactions, and translational research. She contributes to interdisciplinary teams addressing barriers to dementia care and advancing memory clinic models. Her research has been published in journals such as Alzheimer’s & Dementia, Brain Imaging and Behavior, and Nature.
