Alzheimer’s Disease in the Era of Disease Modifying Therapies: From Mechanisms to Biomarkers and Back Again

Jasmeer Chhatwal, M.D., Ph.D. 

Associate Professor of Neurology, Harvard Medical School 

Department of Neurology, Mass General Brigham


 

Dr. Chhatwal is an Associate Professor of Neurology at Harvard Medical School, and a clinician-scientist at BWH and MGH. He cares for patients with neurodegenerative diseases with a particular focus on early-onset and genetically-driven Alzheimer’s disease. He has a diverse scientific and educational background that spans molecular, cellular, and systems neuroscience and his research program includes projects using neuroimaging, electrophysiology, biochemistry, molecular biology, genetics, and machine learning. Supported by the NIH and the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, Dr. Chhatwal leads research on genetic, vascular, sleep-related, and inflammatory influences on cognitive decline and the accumulation of Alzheimer’s disease pathology. Working closely with Drs. Hyun Sik Yang and Lei Liu, he directs the new Translational Neuroscience for Neurodegenerative Diseases (Transcend) Laboratory, part of the Ann Romney Center for Neurologic Disease at BWH. The Transcend laboratory brings together neuroimaging, clinical, biochemical, and data science experts on Alzheimer’s disease with the goal of elucidating disease mechanisms, identifying key drug targets for early intervention, and accelerating the testing of novel therapies.
