Research Interests for Patients
My research interest is in better understanding changes to brain function among patients with cognitive problems, including dementia and Alzheimer's disease. I lead a research program within the University of Colorado Alzheimer's and Cognition Center with a goal to develop methods that can detect brain changes very early in Alzheimer's disease, prior to the development of cognitive or memory symptoms. I also work with members of our research team to develop and test new treatments for neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease.

Research Interest for Referring Providers
My current research interests are in cognitive neuroscience and digital biomarker development. I lead the Sleep Research Program at the University of Colorado Alzheimer's and Cognition Center, where we are studying the use of sleep EEG for detecting preclinical Alzheimer's disease. We are also interested in understanding the neuroprotective properties of sleep that provide novel intervention targets for future therapies.
