Dr. Hwamee Oh, PhD, director of imaging research at the Memory and Aging Program at Butler Hospital and assistant professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Human Behavior at Brown University, has been awarded a National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant. The grant will fund her project on novel cognitive and neuroimaging markers of early Alzheimer’s disease pathologies.
Dr. Oh is a cognitive neuroscientist with expertise in multi-platform imaging that combines functional, structural and diffusion MRI with amyloid and tau PET to detect changes in memory systems with aging and Alzheimer’s disease. In her role at the Memory and Aging Program, Dr. Oh focuses on the use of imaging to detect the development of Alzheimer's disease before symptoms become apparent, which offers patients the best chance at slowing the progression of the disease through early intervention.
