Research Focus
Dr. Bharat Bhusan Biswal's lab focuses on understanding Alzheimer's disease by studying the brain's white matter, which is crucial for communication between different brain regions. Using advanced imaging techniques, the lab aims to discover how changes in white matter relate to cognitive decline in Alzheimer's patients compared to healthy older adults. Ultimately, this research seeks to provide insights that could improve the diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
