Meredith Braskie, PhD

Assistant Professor

PhD in Neuroscience from UCLA

I am personally and professionally committed to investigating Alzheimer’s disease (AD) risk - particularly the mechanisms underlying earliest brain characteristics that may signal or contribute to future cognitive decline. I am especially interested in the contributions of inflammation and metabolic risk to cognition and AD-relevant brain measures in older adults.

Fabian Corlier, PhD

PhD in Neurobiology from Sorbonne Universités, UPMC

My main interest lies in Alzheimer’s disease and aging processes, in particular what different environmental and genetic influences affect brain changes and how they interact. My work in the last two years has focused on how peripheral chronic inflammation may mediate a variety of other influences on brain aging.

Graduate Student

Meral Tubi

I’m a Neuroscience PhD student interested in studying the intersection between neurovascular dysfunction and neurodegeneration. Specifically, I am interested in addressing clinically relevant scientific questions, using multi-modal techniques to evaluate how cerebral network disturbances, pathophysiology, and other brain aging biomarkers relate to cognitive impairment.

Research Assistant

Deydeep Kothapalli

I graduated from the University of Southern California with a B.S. in Biological Sciences. In the past, I applied neuroimaging methods to research structural differences in 22q11.2 deletion syndrome. Currently, I would like to work on Alzheimer's research and expand my skillset as a researcher.


Research Assistant

Jianhang Zhou

I graduated from the Master of Science in Neuroimaging and Informatics program at USC. Currently I focus on brain imaging and Alzheimer’s Disease.


Research Assistant

Matthew Hapenney

I graduated from Boston University with a B.A. in Neuroscience. I wish to explore the processing and consolidation of memory in biological neural systems, relating these concepts and rules to the development of artificial agents to enable and support the exploration of general intelligence.


Research Assistant

Nalini Hazra

I am interested in applying different neuroimaging modalities to Alzheimer's research, and studying the influence of genetics and environmental factors on AD as well as the interaction between them.


Research Assistant

HyungJin Cho

My academic credentials include a Bachelor's degree in neuroscience and psychology from Korea University and a Master's degree with a concentration in behavioral science from the University of Chicago. My research goal is to illuminate neural mechanisms underlying Alzheimer's disease using brain imaging techniques.
