The main research goal of Jennifer Whitwell, Ph.D., is to use neuroimaging to increase understanding of how the brain changes in patients with a range of different neurodegenerative diseases, particularly frontotemporal dementia, progressive supranuclear palsy, apraxia of speech, primary progressive aphasia and atypical presentations of Alzheimer's disease. She utilizes magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) scans to assess structural and functional changes in the brain and determine how these changes are related to clinical symptoms and disease progression. Dr. Whitwell's research is funded by the National Institutes of Health and the Alzheimer's Association.
Neuroimaging biomarkers for neurodegenerative diseases will assist in early diagnosis and prediction of future progression and will be essential to the development of future treatments.
