Since early in life, I have been interested in understanding memory as a crucial brain function defining individual and collective identity. This led me to focus my research on mechanisms of long-term memory and to work with patients who have memory problems secondary to dementias, traumatic brain injuries and other acquired neurological disorders. Care of patients has always felt as a natural destiny to me. Every patient has their own unique situation, and I enjoy getting to know each patient and taking a closer look so we don’t miss anything in their care. I work with my patients to focus and plan on how to improve their quality of life, achieve their goals and enjoy life despite any limitations. Furthermore, in this era of emerging biomarkers for early detection of risks, we can work on prevention and risk modification with those individuals who are concerned about future risk of dementias. I am committed to cognitive neurology care, both in the clinic and to developing innovative treatments through clinical trials.
