Why Women's Brain Health Deserves a Closer Look in Alzheimer's Research with Dr. Rachel Buckley

In this episode we meet Dr. Rachel Buckley, an Associate Professor of Neurology at Harvard Medical School. Her research focuses on sex differences in risk for Alzheimer’s disease, with a particular focus on women’s brain health in neurodegenerative disease. She holds multiple NIH grants, as well as a fellowship from the Alzheimer’s Association, that seek to examine the role of menopause, sex hormones and the X chromosome to impact risk and resilience to Alzheimer's disease in both men and women.
