Dr. Apostolova conducts clinical and neuroimaging research in Alzheimer's disease, mild cognitive impairment and other neurodegenerative disorders. Her main research focus is the development and validation structural imaging biomarkers in AlzheimerÂ’s disease and mild cognitive impairment both from an epidemiological and pharmacotherapeutic perspective. This important research dimension is in line with the increased interest in disease-associated biomarkers that will allow us to diagnose and treat dementia as early as possible. Dr. Apostolova also studies the brain-behavior correlations and imaging genetic associations in AlzheimerÂ’s disease, ParkinsonÂ’s disease and other dementias. Dr. Apostolova is the recipient of the 2010 American Academy of Neurology Research Award in Geriatric Neurology, the 2010 American Federation for Aging Research GE-Healthcare Junior Investigator Award for Excellence in Imaging and Aging Research and the 2007 Turken Research Award.
