Research Focus
Dr. Emily Rogalski leads a research lab at the University of Chicago focused on understanding cognitive resilience in aging and improving communication for individuals with neurological conditions. Her work aims to identify factors that contribute to exceptional cognitive performance in older adults, particularly those who are 'SuperAgers.' Additionally, she develops interventions to enhance the quality of life for patients with primary progressive aphasia, exploring both clinical trials and community-based solutions.
