Our research uses an epidemiological approach to investigating the fundamentals of healthy aging and the chang-es that take place in the brain during the course of our lives. Using large-scale population-imaging studies, we study the role of vascular mechanisms, metabolic disorders, inflammation and lifestyle factors in the development and progression of neurodegenerative diseases, with a focus on early identification and prevention of disease.
