Dr. Beth Mormino completed her PhD in Neuroscience at the University of California, Berkeley under the guidance of Dr. William Jagust. Her initial research focused on applying Amyloid PET tracer PIB in clinically normal older individuals, providing evidence that the pathophysiological processes of Alzheimer’s disease begin years before clinical symptoms, associated with subtle changes in brain regions critical for memory. Following her PhD, she undertook a postdoctoral fellowship at Massachusetts General Hospital with Drs. Reisa Sperling and Keith Johnson, utilizing multimodal imaging techniques to understand longitudinal cognitive changes in individuals classified as preclinical Alzheimer’s disease. In 2017, Dr. Mormino joined the faculty at Stanford University in the Department of Neurology and Neurological Sciences. Her research program is dedicated to integrating imaging and genetics to predict cognitive trajectories over time and employing novel PET scans to enhance understanding of human aging and neurodegenerative diseases.
