Research Focus
Dr. Hyunmi Choi's lab at Columbia University focuses on understanding how certain health risk factors relate to dementia and stroke in older adults with late-onset epilepsy. They investigate how vascular conditions, which affect blood vessels in the brain, may contribute to cognitive decline and increased stroke risk in these individuals. The lab aims to develop better strategies for assessing and reducing these risks to improve brain health in older adults.

Research Aims
3AIM 01Quantify the association of late-onset epilepsy with cognitive decline and explore the role of vascular risk factors.
AIM 02Assess how late-onset epilepsy as a risk marker influences predictions of dementia and stroke.
AIM 03Develop microsimulation models to evaluate personalized treatment strategies for reducing vascular risk in older adults with epilepsy.
