Biography & Research:
Claudia Ramos attended the School of Medicine at the University of Antioquia in Medellin, Colombia, from 2002-2008 and 2011-2015, where she got her degree in Medicine and Psychiatry, respectively. Then, Ramos started to work as the Mental Health Service Coordinator for patients with dementia and other neurodegenerative disorders at the Neurosciences Group of Antioquia, GNA. At the GNA, Ramos was aware of her passion for brain research, and luckily, she got an opportunity to do a fellowship at the Global Brain Health Institute, GBHI, from 2017-2018. After finishing her scholarship, Ramos returned to GNA to develop a pilot project granted by the GBHI and Alzheimer’s Association about the relationship between substance consumption and age at onset and progression speed of people with a high risk of familial Alzheimer’s disease AD. Now, she coordinates a study group about the link between emotion and cognition, works with a support group for caregivers of people with dementia, and is doing her Ph.D. to design a multimodal intervention online to improve functionality in people with AD and reduce AD caregivers’ burden.
