Her work spans Alzheimer's disease prevention, including the development of the MIND diet, investigation of amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA) in clinical trials, and community engagement to improve diversity and inclusion in dementia research. Key areas include neuroimaging biomarkers, socioeconomic determinants of brain health, and lifestyle interventions for neurodegenerative diseases.
Recent publications highlight collaborations on neuroimaging in AD trials, dietary impacts on white matter hyperintensities, and sex/gender disparities in dementia. She actively engages in public health outreach, including programs for homeless populations and the Chicago South Asian community during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Selected Research Trends: Her studies emphasize multimodal neuroimaging (PET, MRI), longitudinal tracking of cognitive decline, and intersectional factors like race, concussion history, and cardiovascular risk in neurodegenerative outcomes.
