Lindsay Clark, PhD, is a clinical neuropsychologist with an interdisciplinary research program that has the overarching aim to improve early detection and prognosis of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD). Her research program focuses on identifying and characterizing early cognitive decline associated with neuroimaging and cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers of ADRD. A second aim of the research focuses on quantifying the risks and benefits of early detection of ADRD and developing effective strategies to disclose Alzheimer’s disease risk-related information, such as amyloid PET scan results, to adults at risk. Another objective is to validate digital tools and tele-neuropsychology approaches to improve early detection of clinical symptoms of ADRD and expand access to dementia evaluations. As both a clinician and researcher, a long-term goal of Dr. Clark’s research program is to investigate and implement approaches to improve and expand access to early diagnosis and care of ADRD.
