Postdoctoral Fellows |
|
 | Dr. Mira Chamoun, PhD Mira has a PhD in vision neurosciences and psychophysics from the Université de Montréal. She started as a postdoctoral fellow at the MCSA in June 2017. Mira will be working on projects axed on the studying of physical and biological markers associated with normal healthy aging and Alzheimer’s disease. |
 | Dr. Émilie Thomas, PhD Émilie joined the MCSA team in January 2018. She is a postdoctoral researcher and also a neuropsychologist. Since her doctoral studies, she is interested in normal and pathological memory. At MCSA, Émilie is currently working on a research project developed by Dr. Pedro Rosa-Neto's team on the progression of neuroinflammation and Tau aggregates in screening for preclinical Alzheimer's disease. She is particularly interested in measurements of cognitive functions in relation to markers of neuroinflammation and in relation to biomarkers of Alzheimer's Disease. |
 | Dr. Muhammad Naveed Iqbal Qureshi, PhD Naveed joined the MCSA as a postdoctoral research fellow in June 2018. He will be developing the methods to integrate the cutting-edge artificial intelligence and machine learning with clinical neurological data. The goal of his research is to develop an automated early prediction system of the Mild Cognitive Impairment and of the onset of Alzheimer Disease and Dementia. |
 | Andréa Lessa Benedet, PhD Currently, Andréa examines the impact of genetic markers of neuroinflammation on imaging outcomes of Alzheimer's disease. She is recipient of a Ciência sem Fronteiras (CsF) scholarship. |
 | Tharick Ali Pascoal, PhD, Neurologist Tharick is current working with the earliest clinical manifestations, metabolic and morphologic abnormalities underlying Alzheimer’s disease pathophysiology. Tharick is specially interest in models to predict disease progression using the interface between amyloid pathology and neurodegeneration in two different cohorts (ADNI and PREVENT-AD study). |
