Dr. Mohamad Habes' lab focuses on understanding Alzheimer's disease (AD) and related dementias (ADRD) by exploring the connection between vascular health and cognitive decline, particularly among diverse populations such as Mexican Americans. The lab employs advanced imaging techniques and machine learning to analyze brain scans and biomarkers in order to identify key factors that contribute to dementia. Their goal is to develop innovative methods for detecting and characterizing neurovascular contributions to cognitive impairment, especially in under-researched ethnic groups.
