Swarna Vishwanath is a Research Fellow in the School of Public Health and Preventive Medicine at Monash University and a Teaching Associate in Teaching & Learning. She is based at the Alfred Hospital and is actively engaged in research on aging, cognitive decline, and cardiovascular health.
Her research focuses on epidemiology of dementia, neuroepidemiology, cognitive aging, and preventive cardiology. Using longitudinal cohort data, she investigates how cardiovascular events, metabolic changes, and frailty influence cognitive trajectories in older adults. Her work bridges clinical medicine and public health, aiming to identify early markers and risk factors for dementia.
Recent publications highlight her contributions to understanding cardiometabolic and frailty trajectories preceding dementia, as well as the cognitive impact of stroke and cardiovascular disease. Her research is frequently published in high-impact journals including JAMA Network Open, Alzheimer's & Dementia, and European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, indicating strong scientific relevance and visibility.
Swarna Vishwanath collaborates with leading researchers in aging and cardiovascular epidemiology, including John L. Ryan, Rory Wolfe, and Mark Nelson. While specific grants are not listed, her consistent output suggests active funding support. She also contributes to academic teaching, reflecting a dual role in research and education.
She is affiliated with the Department of Epidemiology and Preventive Medicine at Monash University, a leading center for public health research in Australia.
