Research

Dr. Brickman’s work focuses on understanding the vascular contributions to cognitive aging and Alzheimer’s disease in genetic, clinical, and community-based contexts. His work integrates neuroimaging and fluid biomarkers into observational studies, basic neuroscience, and epidemiological approaches. He is also interested in understanding sources of racial and ethnic disparity in Alzheimer’s disease, developing interventions for cognitive aging, and designing neuropsychological instruments to assess cognition in older adults.
