Description

As a Postdoctoral Fellow, you will contribute to an NIH-funded research program on women’s brain health at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine (RF1AG098531). This multidisciplinary project, led by Drs Erika Raven and Jelle Veraart, seeks to improve women’s brain health by identifying why the menopause transition may increase risk for cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s disease. Using longitudinal neuroimaging, plasma proteomics, and detailed clinical assessments across multiple cohorts, the study examines how hormonal changes and menopausal hormone therapy influence brain aging and cognitive outcomes. The goal is to identify sex-specific biomarkers and risk profiles that support earlier detection, more precise prevention, and clinically meaningful strategies to protect women’s health across midlife and aging.
