Research Focus
Jessica Mozersky's lab at Washington University focuses on Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) research, particularly on how to effectively communicate biomarker results to older adults. The lab is exploring new blood tests that identify preclinical AD and evaluating safe and understandable methods for returning these results to participants. This is crucial in the context of emerging treatments for AD, aiming to enhance engagement and compliance among older adults.
