Tammy Tran, Ph.D., is a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Wagner Lab at Stanford University. Her research focuses on neural mechanisms underlying memory encoding in young adults and its changes in aging and Alzheimer’s disease. She employs virtual navigation to explore memory-spatial navigation interplay and investigates structural changes linked to biofluid and imaging biomarkers through the Stanford Aging and Memory study. Funded by the NIA F32 and Alzheimer’s Association Research Fellowship, her work bridges cognitive neuroscience with clinical biomarkers.
Dr. Tran holds a Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins University (2019). Her research interests include Alzheimer’s disease progression, cognitive aging, and neuroimaging techniques. Her publications span topics like cortical selectivity in older adults, histological MRI protocols, and APOE’s role in tau accumulation.
