Alzheimer's Disease Progression Lab
Qolamreza Ray Razlighi · New York, New York
Research Focus
Dr. Qolamreza Ray Razlighi's lab focuses on understanding Alzheimer's Disease (AD) by developing a new tool called the Tau Progression Index (TPI). This tool will help predict how the disease progresses in individuals based on brain imaging data and cognitive assessments. Through this research, the lab aims to enhance personalized medicine approaches for Alzheimer's, providing better prognostic information for patients and their families.
