In this episode we meet Dr. Rachel Buckley, an Associate Professor of Neurology at Harvard Medical School. Her research focuses on sex differences in risk for Alzheimer’s disease, with a particular focus on women’s brain health in neurodegenerative disease. She holds multiple NIH grants, as well as a fellowship from the Alzheimer’s Association, that seek to examine the role of menopause, sex hormones and the X chromosome to impact risk and resilience to Alzheimer's disease in both men and women.
