Overall Research Project Description The lab is currently focused on running a pilot clinical trial of a nutrition and lifestyle intervention designed for older adults who are at increased risk for dementia. We are collecting blood biomarkers, microbiome, cognitive, and psychosocial data from older adult participants at baseline, post-intervention, 6-months, and 12-months post intervention. We are particularly interested in designing a program that is accessible and low-cost for the community, while ensuring the program is also efficacious in reducing dementia risk.

Research Tasks Students will be asked to develop their own project idea based on existing lab data and to work through each step of the scientific process while developing their project.

Skills that research assistant(s) may need: Good people skills, quick learner, detail oriented, good communication

Mentoring Philosophy One of the primary goals of my lab and DIS course is to provide students with the knowledge, resources, and experiences that will allow them to see how research is a relevant and powerful tool, regardless of whether they choose an academic or clinical career.
