Research Focus
Dr. Andreas A Linninger's research lab focuses on understanding how age and Alzheimer's disease affect blood flow and metabolism in the brain. By using advanced imaging techniques and computational modeling, the lab aims to create detailed simulations linking changes observed in mouse models to conditions in humans. This research seeks to identify biomarkers that could predict cognitive decline and improve diagnostic methods for Alzheimer’s disease.
