Research Focus
Dr. Ganesh Chand's lab focuses on understanding Alzheimer's disease and its effects on brain function and behavior. Using advanced machine learning techniques, the lab studies the relationships between brain imaging markers, neuropsychiatric symptoms, and genetic factors in Alzheimer's patients and healthy controls. The goal is to uncover how different biological markers correlate with symptoms and identify distinct subgroups of patients, ultimately aiding in more personalized treatment approaches for the disease.
