Biography & Research:
Dr. Babulal’s research goals include, (1) characterizing functional changes in older adults using AD biomarkers (e.g. structural and functional imaging, cerebrospinal fluid, plasma), (2) predicting decline in behavior via standard and novel methodologies, (3) identifying noncognitive behavioral markers that predict preclinical AD, and (4) developing/validating effective strategies to improve and prolong functional outcomes. Additionally, Dr. Babulal’s work resides in the assessment of how social determinants of health, including discrimination, depression, and chronic stress impact health, and well-being in older adults and underrepresented minoritized groups.
